Google Workspace Services

Jim has been a passionate advocate for Google Services since 2008, when the district had to migrate its legacy email and data storage after a series of catastrophic server crashes. The urgent migration to a Google environment over winter break was risky, but ultimately served the district well. The move allowed the district to communicate, collaborate, and create in a dynamic and secure environment, leading to its evolution as a 1:1 Chromebook district for all K-12 students and staff in the 2012 school year.

Practical Educational Pathways can help districts and organizations get the most out of their Google Workspace environment in the following ways:

Google Automation Using Google Apps Script

Simplify Your Invoicing with Automation
- This tool is an automated invoice generation system designed to help small districts and organizations streamline their billing processes. By integrating Google Sheets for data management, the system automatically generates professional PDF invoices for services rendered and delivers them to clients via email. This solution provides an efficient, reliable, and automated workflow for managing invoices from creation to delivery.
Streamline Your Workshop Registration & Communication
- Effortlessly manage your professional development events with an automated registration and communication system. Participants can easily sign up for your workshops and will instantly receive a custom-generated PDF containing all their personalized event details. This seamless experience is built on a powerful integration of Google Forms, Docs, and Spreadsheets, automating the entire process from start to finish.
Secure Document Workflow Automation with Google Workspace
- Organizations often require a secure workflow for collecting sensitive information while restricting access to authorized individuals. A common use case is managing confidential student risk assessments.
  
  This solution provides the necessary infrastructure by integrating Google Forms, Shared Drives, and Sheets into a secure data pipeline. The process automates the generation of official Google Docs and PDFs, incorporating secure eSignatures and robust security features to ensure data integrity and confidentiality from start to finish.

To meet the needs of our partners we've established a cost effective way to utilize our services as a thought partner focused on one or two larger goals within the organization. Usually these goals will extend over several months and require a deeper collaboration between Practical Education Pathways and its partners. Each month will require regular strategic sessions, data review, and adaptive planning.
