a few notes from the ITS
Google Apps for Education (GAFE)
GAFE is here!!!!
Teachers and Students now have access to Google Apps For Education (GAFE), which includes Google Classroom, using their VBCPS credentials. That means you can login to Chrome and access all the great tools with your network login, no need to use a separate personal account. The GAFE apps (see table below) can be accessed from any device with an Internet connection by using the Chrome browser.
To login, open Chrome (if it is not installed on the computer you can install it via the software center) and click "sign in" in the upper right corner. Sign in using your short email (network logon @vbschools.com) and your network password. If you need more detailed instructions or iPad instructions click here.
