Student Google Logins Are Available

Thanks to Mike, TJ, and Scott for sending out the "all clear" for teachers to begin working with student district Google log ins.

The lists of student user names/ gmail addresses are in a folder on the Staff Shared Directory under “Google Student Account Info”.  You’ll need to know that location if you want to import them for sending of group student emails (instructions for doing that are below).

Information on passwords is provided below:

WHY ARE THESE COMING OUT NOW?

We’re sending these out now because some teachers have expressed an interest in getting started/ experimenting a bit using Google docs with their students.  In fact, Melanie Strock and Ara Fee (among others) have already started experimenting – Melanie to post, track, and receive assignments and Ara as a way for students to turn in assignments and take quizzes using his website.  Some others would like to use online resources that require a student email.  Please know that nobody is being required to use these now, but there’s certainly no time like the present to get started if you’re ready.    

WHAT CAN I DO WITH THEM?

1. Get students into some of the Google Apps (like Google Docs).

 – and if you have a website and would like students to “turn in” Google docs assignments on it, I’ll be showing everyone how to do that in Google Forms training in February, but I’m very happy to show you before then – just let me know and I'll show you how).

2.  Maybe you’d like to use an online resource and students need emails for registration purposes.

3.  Once students have email addresses, you can send them email reminders, assignments, make up work, etc. 

• How can I make contacts out of all those names and send a mass email to all or some of my students at once?

• To set up groups and create mailing lists for them, here's my how-to video (and as always, I’m also happy to show you in person).

HOW SHOULD STUDENTS LOG IN? 

AND how can students get forgotten passwords reset? 

 AND how can I get my own STAFF password reset? 

Ask students to use the the DISTRICT Google Login. Depending on how a teacher decides to share information, students may not have access to everything if they don't; in addition, students won't need to remember the long log in username.

The district login link is in 3 places on the MIDDLE SCHOOL edline site: Student Links (Google Apps for Education Log In (District) and Staff Links(Google Apps for Education Log In (District); it’s also the first link under Links.  It’s also on the LV District site).

   

WHAT'S THE LOG IN AND PASSWORD? 

Since this is a public site, please log in using your LV District Google account information and then click HERE.

I now have access to the dashboard, which allows me to reset passwords & add and delete students; I can also now reset staff passwords, so please let me know of issues related to these functions.
