Gmail and GoogleApps

A special Google Apps account for the European School of Bergen has been set up at http://partnerpage.google.com/esbergen.org so that students and teachers can communicate by email, share documents, spreadsheets and multimedia presentations in a secure environment.

By the end of Year 1 you should be able to:

For Gmail
