More and more, I realize that teachers don’t know the power that their Google Apps for Education admin has to make daily classroom life easier and more efficient. This disconnect comes from the fact that often times, the GAFE domain is run by IT people so they don’t know what the teacher wants/needs and the teacher just doesn’t know what they don’t know. I’m here to share with you what you might not know so that you can have a conversation with your GAFE admins to make your life easier in the classroom. All of these tricks can be applied to different organizational units (OU). If your domain is set up properly, then staff and students will be in different OUs. If your district has several buildings, it can be broken out even further by buildings. It can then be broken down even further to do grade level or teams. That means that one of these tricks can be applied to just a small group of people who need it.
