Google/Gaggle Integration


Google/Gaggle Integration


Elementary & Middle School

Our Google/Gaggle integration is complete!  Our 3-8 students now have a Google Drive account that is also associated with their Gaggle accounts.  What does this mean?  If a student logs in on a Google Chromebook using his complete Gaggle email address (epri8727@jcsnc2.org), the student will be logged into the device and three tabs will open in the Chrome browser:
  • student Gaggle dashboard (with the student already logged in to his Gaggle account)
  • Student Online Connections page
  • student Google search page (with the student already logged in to his Google account)
On a desktop, a 3-8 student can login to his new Google account at Google's homepage (using the complete email address) or at www.google.com/a/jcsnc2.org (using just the username).

Students' names will appear in the autopopulate directory so teachers can build a student email group.

Please note that once in Google, Gmail will not be functional as we will continue to use Gaggle's mail services for the rest of this year.

* The Google/Gaggle integration has no impact on high school students.
