MPSD Technology Services

The Marshfield Public School system acknowledges the importance of preparing students with the necessary skills to find success in society. Our goal is to use technology as a tool to improve teaching, academic learning, and lifelong learning. We are committed to providing access to varied technologies and instructional practices that will allow our teachers to transform classroom practices and students to prepare for their futures. In order to prepare students for the future, opportunities must be available for students to use a variety of technologies to engage with an integrated curriculum that provides opportunities to retrieve and process information, solve complex problems, work alone and collaboratively to communicate locally, nationally, and worldwide while developing higher-order thinking skills. MPSD recognizes the need to promote and support authentic and meaningful uses of technology which will empower our students to succeed in a complex and changing society.

1:1 Digital Learning Initiative

 Marshfield Public Schools is excited to continue our 1-1 Digital Learning Initiative.   The immediate access to technology and increased use of technology in education will have a beneficial effect on educational outcomes. We hope to bring 21st century technology to the forefront of our learning as well as engage students in critical thinking, collaboration and communication. Each student will receive a Chromebook to be used in the classroom as well as at home for educational purposes.  Teachers will be using the technology to enhance instruction, assignments, projects, research and assessment.

The Google Apps for Education core services are the heart of Google’s educational offering to schools. The core services are Gmail (including Inbox by Gmail), Calendar, Classroom, Contacts, Drive, Docs, Forms, Groups, Sheets, Sites, Slides, Talk/Hangouts and Vault. These services are provided under the Google Apps for Education agreement.

Schools can use Google Apps for Education (GAFE) core services in compliance with COPPA and FERPA. GAFE core services contain no advertising and do not use student data for advertising purposes.

More than 50 million students, teachers and administrators in almost every country in the world rely on GAFE to learn and work together. We are committed to protecting the privacy and security of all our users, including students.

Please note that there are additional services outside of the GAFE core services that GAFE users can access. These services are not governed by the Student Privacy Pledge or the GAFE agreement, so we may use student data in ways we would not for GAFE core services. For example, additional services may serve ads, and Google may use student data in these additional services on an anonymous, aggregate basis to improve our services. For Apps for Education users in primary/secondary (K-12) schools, Google does not use any user personal information (or any information associated with a Google Account) to target ads. Please review the Google Apps for Education Privacy Notice, Google Terms of Service and Google Privacy Policy. Learn more about the differences between core services and additional services below.
