Overview:
G-Suite or Google Apps for Education is a collection or free online applications that are all synchronized and flow together through Google Classroom and existing course materials. These applications do not reside on the computers at school, but are accessed through a web browser anywhere that a student or teacher has an internet connection. This allows the flexibility and personal choice for students to be able to complete work anywhere anytime that they choose.
Content:
G-Suite is a special setup of popular Google Apps, tailored for educational needs. Student accounts are managed by the school district and local school administrators (not by Google). All students K-12 can have a Google account assigned to them, however they will be provided different applications and have different permissions based on age appropriate considerations.
Google Apps and Permissions by grade level. (Internal Only Sharing means only shared with other staff and students at MSBSD)
