[Year 12 IT Apps] Google Drive in Schools

[Laurie Savage]

Hi Lucas,

We had problems but we persevered. We registered with Google Apps For Education (GAFE) and it works beautifully. I’ve passed you message on to Eric Jensen, our eLearning coordinator who made the whole thing work. Lalor’s not that far from Pascoe Vale so you might want to come round and visit us.

I’m trying to convince my IT network guys that Google Drive is working in other schools, as they believe it cannot work in public schools. I believe it’s a firewall issue that’s preventing me (and all other staff who use Drive) to synchronise their files at school – hence instead of not using the technology, we instead keep our sync to using our home network.
