Google Apps for Education Agreement
State Schools Superintendent Susan Castillo announced today that Oregon is the first state in the nation to sign up for Google Apps for Education in K-12 classrooms. Google Apps are available for free to Oregon public schools on a voluntary basis and are designed to help schools improve digital literacy and reduce IT costs while maintaining the security of school and student data.

What is ORVSD?
ORVSD is a free resource for online teaching and learning designed to promote the use of technology in Oregon classrooms.
We offer Oregon public school educators the opportunity to find and share online resources, learn and use cutting edge online tools, and discuss how to put them to use in the classroom.
Whether you’re thirsty for more or just getting started, we’re here to help.
Why ORVSD?
Because putting tech savvy tools at your fingertips enhances learning and helps you save time so you can concentrate on what you do best—teaching.
"Our vision is to deliver real-world readiness so Oregon students graduate prepared to succeed in today's global, knowledge-based economy. ORVSD gives teachers the tools they need to get our students ready for college, work and life in the 21st century."—Superintendent Susan Castillo
