Google Workspace for Education

San Lorenzo Unified School District teachers and students in grades 2-12 have Google Workspace for Education accounts.  Teachers incorporate online resources and tools to better teach Common Core content through lessons that include the following critical characteristics:

  • Communication
  • Collaboration
  • Creativity
  • Critical Thinking Skills
  • Research
  • Reading and Writing Across the Curriculum
  • Media
  • Technology Integration
 

Google Workspace applications and resources used in the classroom are accessible anywhere the Internet is available.  Encourage your child to show you how technology has been integrated into their classroom curriculum and assignments with these tools.

Difference Between Google and Chrome

Google is a famous search engine (www.google.com). 

Chrome is a web browser that accesses the Internet (worldwide web), like Internet Explorer and Firefox.

Google Search Engine VS.  Chrome Browser

Using any Internet browser, students can go to www.google.com, sign in to their Google Workspace account and access the Google Drive from the Google Apps Icon (black and white "waffle") with any device.

Students can use Google Drive to create folders, files, upload files created and saved locally, share them, and have access anytime on any device with Internet connectivity.
