All WCPSS students have had access to Google Apps for Education (GAFE) for several months now. GAFE is a set of communication and collaboration tools that allow students to create documents, spreadsheets, presentations and more. They can work collaboratively, in real time, with others, without having to email work to one another. They can store all their work "in the cloud" so it's available from any computer or device and share it easily with others.
GAFE is changing the way teachers are teaching. With Google Classroom, teachers can have a "paperless" classroom, with assignments delivered and turned in online. No more, "my dog ate my homework"! Teachers and students have become more dependent on having access to a device; like computers, iPads, and smart phones. This will tie in well with Bring Your Own Device, which is being implemented at MPMS now.
