At Henry B. Gonzalez
Elementary, school principal, Yolanda Salazar-Meave strive to move to a
digitized environment. We created a
school Google account because over the years there have been many changes to
the web hosting services that the district has provided, and this was an
alternative to having something stable that would not need to be changed year
after year. I collaborate with the
administrative team to discuss ways to host the multitude of documents
electronically. We began with lesson plans. We host all of our lesson plans on
our HBG Google Drive. Every teacher has
a Google account and they upload their lessons to their Google Drive and share
it with the HBG account. The
administrative staff no longer has to physically carry lesson plans home to be
checked. They simply log on to the HBG
Account and they have access to all of the lesson plans that are to be checked
for the week. Lesson plans are share
with Support Staff who access them to make sure the same lesson are being taught
by them.
We host our faculty
handbook on the Google Shared folder as well as all forms, calendars and Weekly
Updates. The Shared folder is even used
to host a gallery of pictures and videos that are taken throughout the year.
We share the google-hosted video links through
Class Dojo, so parents can view the latest happenings at Henry B. Gonzalez
Elementary School or can get updated information about upcoming events.
