Google Workspace for Education is a cloud-based environment for collaborating with others in a variety of programs,  including shared word processor, spreadsheet, and many others.

The SOMSD Google Workspace domain is a secure environment for sharing with others in the school district. SOMSD's core set of Google Apps, for use in its secure Domain:

  • Gmail For Students:  An email service provided by Google.  Email storage is unlimited. Students emails are limited to send and receive only to other SOMSD email addresses (and a few select outside senders approved by administration).
  • Google Drive:  This service allows students to organize their files that are created in GSuite.
  • Google Classroom:  An online classroom management tool that allows teachers to collect assignments paperlessly.
  • Google Docs: This service is an online word processing program. Since this application is online, users can collaborate on docs simultaneously.
  • Google Spreadsheets:  This service is an online spreadsheet program.  Since this application is online, users can collaborate on docs simultaneously.
  • Google Presentations:  This service is an online presentation program.  Since this application in online, users can collaborate on presentations/slides simultaneously.

Why Is the District Providing These Tools to Students?

It is important for our students to remain competitive and connected in the 21st century.  Technology has become interwoven in many facets of our lives.  It is vital that our students have experience with these tools in an educational setting.

Google Workspace for Education will:

  • Allow our students to practice using current technology applications and tools.
  • Give our students tools to facilitate planning and time management skills.
  • Help our students reduce the need for paper based communication.
  • Provide our students with large storage mediums for their work.  All students will receive unlimited Google Workspace for Education storage while enrolled in SOMSD.
  • Allow our students to work collaboratively with one another (engage in peer editing, etc.).
