[/caption]On March 3, 2011, DePauw’s Google Apps for Education domain will be expanded to enable you to access several more Google services with your depauw.edu account.
Once this update has been applied, the next time you log in to your DePauw Google Apps account you will see a one-time confirmation screen that describes the new services. After that, you can begin using them with your depauw.edu account.
Additional services will include Blogger, Reader, and Picasa, among others and can be found under the “More” link at the top of the Google window.
Once your DePauw Google Apps account has been expanded, here are two key points you should be aware of:
- If you are already logged in to your DePauw Google Apps account, Google will automatically sign you into each of these additional services the first time you visit it. Remember that data you save or post there using your DePauw account is subject to the University’s Electronic Communication and Acceptable Use Policy.
- If you already have a personal account in one of these expanded Google Applications that you created with your depauw.edu address, the next time you log in after the update Google will walk you through steps to create a new personal username for that account. Afterwards, the data there is safe and you can continue to access that personal Google account using the new username. You can find more information on resolving this issue at on DePauw's Google Apps help site at Resolving Mulitple Accounts.
If you have any questions regarding the upgrade, contact the HelpDesk (765-658-4294, helpdesk@depauw.edu).
