@thanksajdotcom @scottalanmiller my plan had been, where I'm currently located, was to train teachers, and any incoming corporate staff. If that kind of opportunity isn't available, I'd rather be in a classroom, instructing the teachers and staff on how to incorporate technology and the use of the Google Platform into every day teaching.
So what type of tasks do the teachers accomplish by using Google Apps, compared to what? Just trying to get perspective. Also, had been? Past tense?
Making lesson plans, sharing documents, making presentations, slide decks, giving and and receiving homework assignments or class work, scheduling, email and communications of course, and so forth.
I'm curious about this - why do lesson plans need to be made after they are made the first year? I can see that perhaps they need a bit of tweaking, updating for new/additional material, but really that should be a 5 min job - yet I always year teachers, those who have been teaching for 20 years, talking about how they have to make new lesson plans for the same class they have been teaching for a decade or more.

@Dashrender because more teachers are learning new things and constantly are changing the way they are teaching, the state makes changes, the materials change. They could change them for any reason. Example, my best friend is a technology teacher, this is her first year, and she's already started making her lesson plans for next year, to make the class more interesting for her students. Different projects, more hands on, the sky is the limit! Well the state's limit...lol
