Coming Soon! Google+Tahoma=Go.Tahoma

You recently received an email explaining how next fall all staff and secondary students will have access to our Go.Tahoma suite of free Google Apps for education, including Gmail, Google Docs, Google Sites and Google Calendar—all offered under our own domain. View this video to understand the project:

You can read more about the project at our Go.Tahoma website. In particular, visit the Staff Information page for information tailored to you.

So, Learn-and-Earn-ers--what do you think? Take a look at the some of the lesson plans that teachers from all over the world have developed that use Google Apps. Or, do a little bit of "Googling" to find out how teachers are using the apps--try "Google docs in the classroom" or "Using Google sites with students" and see what you find. Or, take a look at the Google tutorials that have been developed by Richard Byrne over at his blog Free Technology for Teachers.

For those of you posting here for clock hours, please share your thoughts and questions after taking a few minutes to get acquainted with the project, checking out our Go.Tahoma website, and perusing one or two of the other links I shared above. I'm eager to hear what you have to say!
