How to use google docs in school

[JohnRMoore]

Hi,

 

We currently have a subdomain and emails set up to use google apps eg [email protected] where students (and staff) can login and share docs. To add confusion, the authentication for this is via our moodle.

 

It's a mess I want to sort out, but I am lacking in knowledge. This is what I think needs to be done:

 

 

• create a subdomain staff.schoolname.co.uk
  
• use google active directory application to synch students to the students subdomain and staff to the staff subdomain
  
• break any links between moodle and google, and just keep the AD synch to moodle
  

 

My thinking is that the separate subdomains will reduce the risk (if not prevent) accidental unintended sharing of docs between staff and students.

I do not work in IT so it is highly likely that some or all of this is nonsense - can anyone advise? I am also confused because it seems that google apps (now g suite) is advertised as a paid for service but we use it for free. Will there be a cost to creating a new subdomain and using google services?

 

Any help most appreciated. Thanks.

 

John
