Google Apps for Education

Round Rock ISD has uses Google Apps for Education for elementary students in grades 2-5.  This account gives students a district email address and access to other Google Apps such as Drive, Calendar, Sites, Classroom and the Chrome Store.  One of the great benefits of Google Apps accounts is the ability for students to complete assignments at home and work collaboratively with their peers.  Teachers can communicate easily and give students specific and timely feedback.

Mrs. Jezisek and Mrs. Walkup introduced third grade students to their Google account and collaborated on a 'live journal.' This journal is between the student and teachers and allows multiple users to communicate simultaneously. Students had fun exploring real-time typing!
