Creating a Google Apps for Education account

SMART amp works with Google Apps for Education to simplify deployment and account management. Teachers and students don’t need to maintain separate user names and passwords, and administrators don’t need to maintain additional credentials.

Before users can sign in to SMART amp, administrators need to create a Google Apps for Education account and configure it for use with SMART amp. See Configuring the Google Apps domain.

Important 

You must be the Google Apps super administrator for your school or region in order to have the access to set up SMART amp correctly. See Determining whether you're the domain administrator.

OpenTo set up a Google Apps for Education account

  1. Go to google.com/a/cpanel/education/new to start the sign-up process, and enter the relevant information for you and your school or region.

  2. Follow the on-screen instructions to create the account.

    Note 

    If your school doesn’t have a domain, you can purchase one during this process. Google Apps domains are free for schools.

For more information on creating an account watch this Tech2Tech training video.
