"We had an issue this week uploading pictures to GoogleDocs. We had the students take a picture of themselves with some fungus (7th Grade Science), with the intention of having them insert it in a GoogleDoc. We found on the fly that if the picture…"

Derrick Waddell replied to Maria Sommer's discussion Filtering/Security in the group Google Apps for Education"You should be able to use the same basic steps for other filtering options. I used the same ones to filter out profanity."
Anne Jeschke replied to Maria Sommer's discussion Filtering/Security in the group Google Apps for Education"Great idea, Roger. I do have a question though, don't your parents have to sign AUPs for student access?"
Jeffrey Ross replied to Maria Sommer's discussion Filtering/Security in the group Google Apps for Education"Hi Roger,
Sorry to keep asking for information I should be able to find at Google, but quite frankly, I can't find where you can apply for an education account. I used the school's address, but I am not the IT administrator for the school,…"
Jeffrey Ross replied to Maria Sommer's discussion Filtering/Security in the group Google Apps for Education"Roger,
Thanks much for the information! Your site might just be the kind of example that allows us to open the door to GoogleApps, at least in my classroom (hopefully)."
Jeffrey Ross replied to Maria Sommer's discussion Filtering/Security in the group Google Apps for Education"Derrick,
Per your reply to Lori, am I right to assume that I can use my edublog as the "site" for my google apps? Does the website act as a "portal" to GoogleApps? Thank you for the information; this has been very helpful!"
Derrick Waddell replied to Maria Sommer's discussion Filtering/Security in the group Google Apps for Education"Yes, you can use your current wiki. GoDaddy will allow you to forward your domain to any current website. We used our Google Site (www.westpointhigh.com). You can get a .com for around $10."
Lori Lisai replied to Maria Sommer's discussion Filtering/Security in the group Google Apps for Education"Hi there,
I am trying to get going with Google Apps in my own classroom. How did you set up a "quick little website"? Can I use the wiki that I created for my team as a website? Also, I assume you paid the ten bucks or so at Godaddy for…"
Derrick Waddell replied to Maria Sommer's discussion Filtering/Security in the group Google Apps for Education"Yes. You have complete control over how many accounts are issued and to whom they are issued. I did the same in just my computer applications classes first, then about a year later moved to the entire school."
Jeffrey Ross replied to Maria Sommer's discussion Filtering/Security in the group Google Apps for Education"I also want to incorporate GoogleApps, but email is a contentious issue. My admins are also supportive, but I need some strong privacy protocols to sell the idea of student emails at my school. I'm looking over the links information right now,…"
Roger Grant replied to Maria Sommer's discussion Filtering/Security in the group Google Apps for Education"Hi Maria, I'm an 8th grade science teacher and I began limited use of Google Docs last year. I suggested Google Apps for Education to our District but didn't get any response from them. Fortunately my school administrators were more…"
Maria Sommer replied to Maria Sommer's discussion Filtering/Security in the group Google Apps for Education"Thanks so much Matt, that helps a lot. I am planning on doing a pilot with my classes, maybe starting with just one grade level (I teach 6-8 Science), and rolling it out to the rest of the department by the end of the year. Once we start, others…"
Matt Allen replied to Maria Sommer's discussion Filtering/Security in the group Google Apps for Education"If you get the school domain, there are tons of options to restrict students. There really is no reason for any hesitation when it comes to security. I do have all students log-in names and passwords, (They can't change them, thanks to the…"

Filtering/Security
Hi all, I want to incorporate GoogleApps in my classroom, and eventually branch out into the rest of the school (grades 6-8). I have been getting some resistance from administrators in regard to security/filtering. Since you guys have experience with this, what have you found that works and doesn't work? Have you had issues with students posting inappropriate things? What types of policies do you have in place, and how much does Google have built into the Apps for Education in regard to…See More
