We invite you to take a look at Albertville, Alabama.

Google recently recognized Albertville’s early adoption and use of Google Apps for Education and Google Classroom and contacted Terry Freeman saying that Albertville City Schools was the “Googliest” in Alabama. Google Classroom ties many products together to help educational institutions go to a paperless system. The services are offered at no charge to public schools, and include unlimited file storage for users to save their work. Google also offers a low cost Chromebook that runs the Chrome operating system and provides quick easy access to applications. Albertville has deployed over two thousand Chromebooks to classrooms in the district. Assisting with the use of the Chromebooks in each school has been the deployment of more than 350 wireless access points across the school system.

This year Albertville City Schools has been asked by Google to co-present at the AETA Fall Symposium. Presenting on behalf of Albertville City Schools will be Terry Freeman, Tammy Miller, Kelly Bonds, and Tory Croft. They will be providing information about the benefits and experiences of deploying Google Apps for Education to other school districts in Alabama.

The Albertville City School System currently deploys more than 4,000 computers and over 1,500 tablet devices. The school system currently has a student computer ratio of 1 computer for every 1.3 students (excluding tablet devices).
