Google Docs and ATPPS + a story!

 The good news.... Google Docs for SLP is up and running well!

More good news...
if you upload your observation document and share it between BIL and BILLEE you can work collaboratively on your observation paperwork simultaneously!

The bad news....if you can't get in because your password seems to be wrong....you are out of luck!!!!

NOOOO......NOT REALLY!

To find out the secret, you have to read the story!
So neither Kim OR Chris could get into their docs account.....
No matter what combination of name and PW we used it didn't work!
I called tech support....7315.....they gave me the info that they had!
It matched what we had!  Still no success!
Called Brian....out of the office!
Called Ryland...he said...had to wait for Brian....
Sent a nastygram email...
Got this response!

> watkins.christopher w/ this years password ( numbers repeat at the end to meet password length requirement.)  is working in google"

 What this means is......IF you have a very short password.....you need to repeat the number to get in!!!!

Arrgggghhhh!  And we were supposed to know this HOW?
Well now you know!

And seriously, this is great...Kim and I sat on the phone with each other and worked through her pre-observation conference.  She selected her domains....I asked her questions and filled out the information I saw! Very Cool!  She can go in at anytime and see the status of her observation.  (well that may be a bit too much pressure for me :) )

Again....if you want a quick lesson with Google Docs, let me know!

SLP Google Docs Link

I have put a link to the SLP Google Docs Link under the Teacher Tab on our home page.

Why do you care?

Because....Google Docs is where you will be going to access and store your ATPPS forms.


This is what you do:






The screen that you will see when you go to the link under the teacher tab looks like this:


Enter your username-it is lastname.firstname  (just like when you do our email login)
Currently our passwords are the password you used last year. (We will receive an email when they change it to this year's PW)

If you don't remember last year's PW,  you can call 7315 and they have it :)

Once you sign in to your account you have access to lots of documents and the ability to share those documents with others.

Please use the comment area to share your questions.  I will try to answer people's questions and then everyone can see the solutions!
