Comment by Judy Beam on November 20, 2009 at 8:27pm: How do you set up gmail for your students within your district domain in Google? What type of control do you have?

Comment by Amber Rowland on November 24, 2009 at 11:59am: Thank you Judy! Winfield has just made this switch and I think Stacy Smith could be a great resource! We'll see what we can pull together for you! ;-)

Comment by Amber Rowland on November 24, 2009 at 11:59am: Keep them coming folks!!

Comment by Erika Parker on November 24, 2009 at 1:28pm: I am in a district that is in dire need of some technology. I am all for writing some grants, any suggestions on where I can find some technology grants? We are writing one for TRC, but I am looking for some more related to a Kindergarten-2nd grade level building. Thanks!

Comment by Amber Rowland on November 24, 2009 at 2:13pm: Hi Erika! We try to post funding opportunities under the Collaboration Center section of this blog under Funding Opportunities. Any time we hear of something we put it there! I think a blog post specifically on funding opportunities is a GREAT idea!! Thank you!

Comment by Anne Compton on November 29, 2009 at 11:37pm: I am in a district that is in the process of installing a significant number of interactive whiteboards and smart boards due to stimulus funds. We are wanting to make sure we provide appropriate and worthwhile staff development to teachers who will be receiving these whiteboards. Any advice and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Comment by Amber Rowland on November 30, 2009 at 12:00am: Thank you Anne! I think we have some information that would make a powerful blog post...will do!

Comment by Stacy Smith on December 14, 2009 at 9:29am: Winfield is currently using Google Apps. Our district email is Google for both staff and students, however Google will only allow accounts for students over the age of 13. We do not have accounts for our elementary students :-(

Below is a link to more information about using Google Apps in your district.
