One of the benefits for utilising Google Apps for Education at your school, is the simplicity afforded to you and your colleagues with regards to signing into other websites and digital services. When you discover a good education website it can be off putting when you and your students need to create and remember new account details. Google have established partnerships with 100's of websites, meaning that you can simply authenticate to education websites with just a few clicks, you only need remember 1 username and password - your email details as provided by your school.
When I transitioned my own school to GAFE I searched the web far and wide, trying to discover a list of all of the education services which my teaching colleagues and students access. I couldn't find that list so I thought I would start one here.
