GMail, here we come!

This fall we have been going through a school-wide transition to GMail and Google Apps. Most teacher and administrative accounts have now been moved, and student accounts will be migrated on November 26. What does this mean?

• Faculty and staff have been very pleased with Google Apps. This program offers not only email, but also an integrated word processor, spreadsheet and presentation program which students can access from any internet-enabled computer.
• Google Apps also features document sharing, which we anticipate will be fantastic for group work.
• Another advantage of this program is that it saves revisions to documents, allowing teachers to comment and grade online, and letting teachers and students track a paper from rough draft to finished product.
• We will have a new domain: c-dh.org. This means that most faculty/staff addresses will be firstinitial+lastname@c-dh.org, and most student accounts will be lastname.firstname@c-dh.org.
• "Old" email addresses will remain valid, in other words either the old or new address can be used.

Look for these changes after Thanksgiving, and ask your student to show you our new program!
