FAQ

What do I need to bring with me to the Google Summit?

It's a great idea to bring a laptop. iPads don't have a browser maximized for the use of Google Apps for Education. There will be laptops in each pod for your use. If you borrow a laptop, please return it after each session as the machines are used by students in that pod. Since they reside in trolleys in every pod, there will be another for you to borrow at your next session.

Bring your best questions and your thinking cap. We hope to work your brain extra hard and give you great ideas.

What if I've never used Google Apps for Education before?

There is no need for you to have experience with Google Apps for Education prior to the day of the Summit. We do ask that you have access to a Google account. This can be the account your school district has set up for you or a personal Google account. To obtain your own Google account please visit this page.
