If you&#8217;re leading a session, create a Google Site to share information. Share a collaborative Google Doc so participants can take notes together and exchange ideas. <br /><b><br /></b> <b>Bram: What are your most effective training activities?</b><br /><br /><b>Jennie</b>: I have a professional development opener I like to call the "Gripe Jam."

As I&#8217;m looking up videos and learning new things I add the videos to a playlist with other things that YouTube has taught me.

Rather than having students turn-in their work at the end of the assignment cycle, have them turn it in at the beginning. The first step in any class project is to have students create their document, presentation, or spreadsheet, and have them share it with you as the teacher immediately.

Even with his vast experience and being so close to retirement, Rick demonstrated my two recommendations: start small and give it a go.

Throughout the year we had the opportunity to get to know more and more schools that decided to Go Google. To look back on the year, we compiled a few stories that people shared with us. You can find more stories in our <a href="//www.google.com/edu/solutions.html?utm_source=Google&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=NORTHAM-EDU-2014-GM-Asset-Blog-FETC" target="_blank">refreshed website for schools</a>.<br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/FXDTlJ3j9eo" width="640"></iframe><br />One thing we&#8217;ve heard loud and clear from educators and students across the globe was that they want more choices. They want a wider selection of devices, content and resources so they can choose the right tools for their particular needs. So to kick off this new year, we&#8217;ve worked with our partners to give schools more options for devices, classroom content and training resources.<br /><br /><b>K-12 Books in Google Play for Education</b><br /><a href="//google.com/edu/tablets?utm_source=Google&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=NORTHAM-EDU-2014-GM-Asset-Blog-FETC" target="_blank">Google Play for Education</a> makes it easy for educators to find and distribute apps and videos that unlock student potential, and schools have told us that access to a wide selection of books is just as important. That&#8217;s why soon we&#8217;ll add thousands of K-12 books to Google Play for Education, from digital textbooks like &#8220;GO Math!&#8221; (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt) and &#8220;Journeys Common Core&#8221; (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt) to classic literature like &#8220;Bridge to Terabithia&#8221; (Harper Collins), "Lord of the Flies&#8221; (Penguin), and &#8220;Things Fall Apart&#8221; (Random House). Once a book is assigned, students can read it from their Android tablets, Chromebooks, or any other device through the <a href="https://play.google.com/books?utm_source=Google&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=NORTHAM-EDU-2014-GM-Asset-Blog-FETC" target="_blank">Play Books reader</a>. Affordable access periods of 60 days, 180 days, and 360 days help schools ensure that materials stay fresh (and classes stay interested) &#8212; it&#8217;s easy to change curriculums from year to year, or even customize reading materials for individual students. We're rolling out to a few schools today, and will make K-12 books fully available to all schools in the coming weeks. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPWqs2MwnIs2I4Dm7GaU_ZXLgWb1Kca93XQLYuFcaoPKSbGCJnteMSZlCDw-d72Ac_TLolBu1K6duRGfp8hkFKU8VzqkHjncEJDi4PbysRyvh_MONMJJnmJHzoeFhwOySfVxVpg7gLChM/s1600/Final+Play+Books+for+Education+screenshot.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="414" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPWqs2MwnIs2I4Dm7GaU_ZXLgWb1Kca93XQLYuFcaoPKSbGCJnteMSZlCDw-d72Ac_TLolBu1K6duRGfp8hkFKU8VzqkHjncEJDi4PbysRyvh_MONMJJnmJHzoeFhwOySfVxVpg7gLChM/s1600/Final+Play+Books+for+Education+screenshot.png" width="640" /></a></div><b>Greater choice of devices</b><br />Technology is one tool to help teachers create innovative learning models. With devices that are affordable and manageable, the technology can get out of the way so that teachers can do what they do best &#8212; help students accomplish their goals. We&#8217;re hearing great success stories from schools using both tablets with Google Play for Education and Chromebooks. And analysts such as Futuresource report Chromebooks continue to grow, accounting for 1 in 4 devices shipped to U.S. K-12 schools according to preliminary data for the final quarter of 2013.<br /><br />Today at <a href="http://fetc.org/Events/Educational-Technology-Conference/Home.aspx" target="_blank">FETC</a>, our partners announced they&#8217;re making even more options available to schools:<br /><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>New Chromebooks: Toshiba announced that their new Chromebook will be available for education customers.

Throughout the year we had the opportunity to get to know more and more schools that decided to Go Google. To look back on the year, we compiled a few stories that people shared with us. You can find more stories in our <a href="//www.google.com/edu/solutions.html?utm_source=Google&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=NORTHAM-EDU-2014-GM-Asset-Blog-FETC" target="_blank">refreshed website for schools</a>.<br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/FXDTlJ3j9eo" width="640"></iframe><br />One thing we&#8217;ve heard loud and clear from educators and students across the globe was that they want more choices. They want a wider selection of devices, content and resources so they can choose the right tools for their particular needs. So to kick off this new year, we&#8217;ve worked with our partners to give schools more options for devices, classroom content and training resources.<br /><br /><b>K-12 Books in Google Play for Education</b><br /><a href="//google.com/edu/tablets?utm_source=Google&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=NORTHAM-EDU-2014-GM-Asset-Blog-FETC" target="_blank">Google Play for Education</a> makes it easy for educators to find and distribute apps and videos that unlock student potential, and schools have told us that access to a wide selection of books is just as important. That&#8217;s why soon we&#8217;ll add thousands of K-12 books to Google Play for Education, from digital textbooks like &#8220;GO Math!&#8221; (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt) and &#8220;Journeys Common Core&#8221; (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt) to classic literature like &#8220;Bridge to Terabithia&#8221; (Harper Collins), "Lord of the Flies&#8221; (Penguin), and &#8220;Things Fall Apart&#8221; (Random House). Once a book is assigned, students can read it from their Android tablets, Chromebooks, or any other device through the <a href="https://play.google.com/books?utm_source=Google&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=NORTHAM-EDU-2014-GM-Asset-Blog-FETC" target="_blank">Play Books reader</a>. Affordable access periods of 60 days, 180 days, and 360 days help schools ensure that materials stay fresh (and classes stay interested) &#8212; it&#8217;s easy to change curriculums from year to year, or even customize reading materials for individual students. We're rolling out to a few schools today, and will make K-12 books fully available to all schools in the coming weeks. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPWqs2MwnIs2I4Dm7GaU_ZXLgWb1Kca93XQLYuFcaoPKSbGCJnteMSZlCDw-d72Ac_TLolBu1K6duRGfp8hkFKU8VzqkHjncEJDi4PbysRyvh_MONMJJnmJHzoeFhwOySfVxVpg7gLChM/s1600/Final+Play+Books+for+Education+screenshot.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="414" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPWqs2MwnIs2I4Dm7GaU_ZXLgWb1Kca93XQLYuFcaoPKSbGCJnteMSZlCDw-d72Ac_TLolBu1K6duRGfp8hkFKU8VzqkHjncEJDi4PbysRyvh_MONMJJnmJHzoeFhwOySfVxVpg7gLChM/s1600/Final+Play+Books+for+Education+screenshot.png" width="640" /></a></div><b>Greater choice of devices</b><br />Technology is one tool to help teachers create innovative learning models. With devices that are affordable and manageable, the technology can get out of the way so that teachers can do what they do best &#8212; help students accomplish their goals. We&#8217;re hearing great success stories from schools using both tablets with Google Play for Education and Chromebooks. And analysts such as Futuresource report Chromebooks continue to grow, accounting for 1 in 4 devices shipped to U.S. K-12 schools according to preliminary data for the final quarter of 2013.<br /><br />Today at <a href="http://fetc.org/Events/Educational-Technology-Conference/Home.aspx" target="_blank">FETC</a>, our partners announced they&#8217;re making even more options available to schools:<br /><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>New Chromebooks: Toshiba announced that their new Chromebook will be available for education customers.

We had trouble finding contact details and reaching out to others in the business. Also, our aging data storage hardware infrastructure experienced regular outages that disrupted internal and external communications. We realised we could make the case for an overhaul, so after a comprehensive review of the market we decided to move to <a href="//www.google.com/apps/intl/en/business/smb/" target="_blank">Google Apps for Business</a> with the help of our Google Apps deployment partner <a href="http://www.netpremacy.com/appscare/" target="_blank">Appscare</a>. They became an extension of our own team and helped us understand how to get the most from all the features.<br /><br />We decided to make the move to Google Apps rather than any competitive offering because Google provided the complete and comprehensive range of communication tools that met all of our company&#8217;s needs. We have email available online from laptop and mobile with vast mailbox space, online access to shared documents and calendars in the cloud, instant messaging, online video conferencing and a BYOD offering with integrated solutions that working brilliantly on both iOS and Android. By moving to a mobile, cloud, consumer platform with all the enterprise controls Google provides, we eliminated the costs and disruption of on-site maintenance, and the hefty licence fees of our on-premise email systems.<br /><br />For many of our employees, Google Apps is revolutionising their team and project work. Teams are more organised because everything &#8211; including timelines, budgets and progress reports are stored transparently with the latest updates available for all to see online. Also, our employees no longer need to log on with a VPN to get to the resources they need to do their jobs. They can just log on securely using two-factor authentication with their mobile device into their Google Apps account.<br /><br />A great example of the transformation we&#8217;re seeing with Google Apps is at <a href="http://www.cyclescheme.co.uk/" target="_blank">Cyclescheme</a>, our subsidiary that specialises in supplying bikes for employees of enterprises. Real-time collaboration with Google Docs became the epicentre for information sharing when the company redesigned its website. The rich, real-time collaboration capabilities of Google Apps reduced the time taken to design, approve and take the site to production weeks ahead of schedule. At the core of this process was the Cyclescheme team project plan which shared a central Google Spreadsheet with everyone involved with the project, including external suppliers. Everyone added updates on plans and progress, making the whole process more transparent and streamlined.<br /><br />We are inspired by how our new tools are producing changes to the way our people organise and collaborate, and we are impressed with how Google Apps is proving to be a catalyst for organisational change.

This year&#8217;s event will be attended by 35,000 headteachers, educators and learning professionals from across the world. BETT brings everyone together at ExCeL London to discuss and debate the future of education and how technology can help raise standards and tear down barriers in the classroom.<br /><br />Google has been participating at BETT for the last four years and we are back again, representing the growing and healthy adoption of Google Apps for Education and Chromebooks in classrooms all over the world. More than 30 million students, teachers and staff use Google Apps for Education and 5,000 schools use Chromebooks globally.

It is no exaggeration to say that the GSA has completely transformed the role the website plays within our business.</div> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2014/01/charles-stanley-direct-invests-in-gsa.html?hl=en'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Official Google Cloud Blog:Charles Stanley Direct invests in GSA to transform customer experience&url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2014/01/charles-stanley-direct-invests-in-gsa.html?hl=en&via=gsuite'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2014/01/charles-stanley-direct-invests-in-gsa.html?hl=en'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> <div class='comment-container'> <i class='comment-img material-icons'> &#57529; </i> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='2' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2014/01/charles-stanley-direct-invests-in-gsa.html?hl=en' data-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2014/01/charles-stanley-direct-invests-in-gsa.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2014/01/charles-stanley-direct-invests-in-gsa.html' data-viewtype='FILTERED_POSTMOD'></div> <a href='https://plus.google.com/112374322230920073195' rel='author' style='display:none;'> Google </a> <div class='label-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'> Labels: </span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/customer%20love?hl=en' rel='tag'> customer love </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Finance?hl=en' rel='tag'> Finance </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Gone%20Google?hl=en' rel='tag'> Gone Google </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Search%20Appliance?hl=en' rel='tag'> Google Search Appliance </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='8582694228300171272' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2014/01/the-state-of-maryland-goes-google.html?hl=en' itemprop='url' title='The State of Maryland goes Google '> The State of Maryland goes Google </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Friday, January 17, 2014 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span class="byline-author">Posted by Gregory Urban, CTO, State of Maryland</span><br /><br /><i><b>Editor's note:</b> Today our guest blogger is Gregory Urban from the <a href="http://www.md.gov/" target="_blank">State of Maryland</a>.

So it&#8217;s no surprise Maryland is a leader in adopting innovative technologies to improve citizen services. But with 54,000 state employees scattered across 60 independent agencies, most with their own IT department, the Maryland state government faces challenges in creating a unified technology infrastructure. <br /><br />To streamline IT infrastructure and improve collaboration between agencies, the Department of Information Technology is rolling out <a href="//www.google.com/enterprise/apps/government/" target="_blank">Google Apps for Government</a> for all 54,000 employees. Previously, each agency ran its own email servers &#8212; from Microsoft Exchange and Novell, to in-house platforms. We knew to move these disparate email systems into the cloud would decrease complexity and improve intra-agency collaboration, but any cloud-based solution we selected had to meet high security standards.<br /><br />With Google Apps for Government, all state government data and emails remain in a secure cloud that is compliant with FISMA standards. With over 50 different CIOs working in different agencies, Google Apps allows Maryland to manage security from one central point. Instead of each agency buying and running its own security systems, now Google lets us secure data on a global, enterprise-wide scale. From a central IT point of view, Google Apps lets us execute mobile device management and data leak prevention across all agencies, as well as track every email and document. Previously, each individual IT department had to install appliances to manage these issues on their own.<br /><br />On a practical level, Google Apps has helped agencies improve productivity and collaboration. The State Police quickly adopted Gmail for all 2,000 employees, 1,400 of which are sworn officers. They have also been a frontrunner in using Drive to streamline daily workflow, across laptops, tablets and mobile devices. They use Docs, Forms and Spreadsheets to regularly report incidents, arrests and investigations. A sergeant's weekly reporting job that used to take 6-7 hours now takes less than an hour, freeing up officers to focus on more mission critical tasks.<br /><br />What&#8217;s more, much of the innovation has come from the ground-up. Because Google Apps provides rich functionalities and is easy-to-use, troopers without any IT background have been able to create internal apps to make their jobs easier. One employee built a system in Spreadsheets to manage the schedule of the troopers across all shifts 24x7x365, making it easy to track hours worked, leave hours, and that schedules adhere to agency policy. Previously, this was done using printouts and pencils, creating lots of complications across 1,400 troopers in 22 barracks throughout the state.<br /><br />Google Apps has also created a new sense of cohesiveness among the entire workforce. Employees used to have email addresses unique to their agencies, creating an identity that emphasizes their agency relationship. But with Gmail, we provide every employee with a maryland.gov email. State employees now have a stronger sense they are a part of One Maryland, a team representing the state government serving Maryland&#8217;s 5.9 million residents. We&#8217;re impressed at how effectively Google Apps has brought disparate agencies closer together, making us into a stronger team.<br /><br /><br /><br /></div> </script> <noscript> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span class="byline-author">Posted by Gregory Urban, CTO, State of Maryland</span><br /><br /><i><b>Editor's note:</b> Today our guest blogger is Gregory Urban from the <a href="http://www.md.gov/" target="_blank">State of Maryland</a>.

While this recognition is based on a variety of measures, a key element is the city&#8217;s efforts to engage and connect with constituents using mobile technology and social media. As a tech-savvy city, we&#8217;re always looking for the best IT tools to help our government run smarter, innovate more effectively and provide better services for our citizens. Our most recent innovation was the successful migration of 76,000 email accounts from a collection of our premise based systems, mostly Microsoft Exchange, to Google Apps. Not only are all city departments, including the Boston Police Department, now on Google Apps, but every teacher and more than 50,000 public school students each has an individual Google Apps account.<br /><br />Our new unified, cloud-based communication system is pretty big change from our old set-up. Our agencies worked together to manage their mail environments, with resources focused on mail administration and working across the group structures. Our largest department, the public school district, operated on a very separate environment that was in need of a major technical upgrade. <br /><br />As the city evaluated an upgrade to communication and collaboration infrastructure, we clearly saw cloud services as the most cost effective, supportable platform to address our future needs. In 2013, following an extensive review of the market, the city initiated a rigorous RFP process that attracted an wide array of bids, including multiple Microsoft and Google cloud offerings. A selection committee composed of members from our City IT organization, Boston Police, and Boston Public Schools evaluated 10 proposals based on both cost and technical capabilities. The committee unanimously chose Google Apps based on its ability to meet the needs of a fast moving city while providing a secure cloud environment. <br /><br />Going Google on such a large scale has many benefits. We gained reliability and security compared to our prior configuration of Microsoft Exchange servers, which required extensive upkeep, upgrades and patches. The Boston Police department, for example, now has a reliable, scalable system that supports its 24/7 operation with Gmail&#8217;s 99.9% uptime guarantee. More than 3,000 police employees, including 2,100 sworn officers, use Google Apps to communicate with one another as well as to streamline reporting processes.<br /><br />All in all, we&#8217;ve securely moved more than twenty million email messages to the cloud. Every city employee &#8212; from police, to education, public works, transportation and beyond &#8212; has a Google account and a <a href="http://boston.gov/" target="_blank">boston.gov</a> email address accessible from any device, anywhere. We are confident Google&#8217;s secure, FISMA-compliant cloud environment ensures that city data is safe and private.<br /><br />The Google Apps platform now sits at the center of our drive to infuse innovation in every aspect of city government and enhance collaboration. After 20 years in office, Mayor Thomas Menino is departing &#8211; making way for incoming Mayor Marty Walsh, and we&#8217;re proud to hand the new administration the country&#8217;s most advanced, fully-functioning, cloud-based communications system to keep our city at the forefront of technology innovation.</div> </script> <noscript> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span class="byline-author">Posted by Bill Oates, CIO, City of Boston</span> <br /><br /><i><b>Editor's note:</b> Today&#8217;s guest blogger is Bill Oates, Chief Information Officer of the City of Boston.
