Welcome to Falcon Apps!

Google Apps is a set of online tools for communication, collaboration, time-management, and document storage. Provided by Google at no cost to the District, these tools include:
  • Gmail: a fully functioning e-mail program
  • Calendar: a customizable calendar and to-do list
  • Contacts: an address book
  • GoogleDocs: a word processing, spreadsheet, presentation and drawing program that allows multi-user access and editing
  • Sites: a web-page design tool
  • Video portal: a place for students and teachers to store and share video projects
  • Groups: a fully functioning threaded discussion tool
  • Aviary: a set of image and audio creation and editing tools
  • Most other Google Tools!
The District’s primary reasons for supplying these tools to students are:
  • To provide our students with practice in using current technology applications and tools, including e-mail, word processing, spreadsheet use, survey development, graphics use and slide show creation
  • To provide students with planning and time management tools to develop 21st century skills
  • To facilitate “paperless” communication and transfer of work between students and teachers
  • To provide adequate (7 GB) long-term storage space for student work
  • To help students work collaboratively, engage in peer-editing of documents, and publishing for a wider audience
