Have you heard of "cloud computing?"Instead of storing computer resources on your own computer, they're located "in the cloud." This "cloud" is, in fact, the Internet.
At Dannevirke South, we are using Google Apps for Education, an online workspace for staff and students. Google Apps offers these key applications:
Email
Word Processing
Presentations
Spreadsheets
Calendar
Photo Gallery
Please note:
The school owns/controls every user's account. What your child gets is not the same as signing up for a public Google or GMail account.
The intention is to provide a private online workspace for students so they can study, learn, record, reflect, collaborate, publish and share online. Email, sharing and publishing outside the school will be managed by the school.
Email will not be offered to younger students.
We are aware that cyber safety & security are important issues, and will actively monitor student behaviour online, student and teacher feedback and, of course, what we hear from parents.
If you're a school parent and wish to discuss this project further, please contact the Principal, Stephen Snell.
