Working Smarter Not Harder - BG What?

For years I have been training the district on using the Google Tools and sharing how we can all work with more transparency and collaboration to make us all stronger.  Just like Huey Lewis... "I had some rocky roads, I had some ups and downs".   BUT NOW... you guys are really rockin it and realizing that we as a group can truly work Smarter Not Harder.  I just spent the morning with Mr. Wix at Dishman McGinnis.  He is using an add - on called AutoCrat.  He can now get a discipline referral submitted via Google Form and he can have an automatic notice to parent sent to his google drive in order to be mailed to the parent.  He had to think outside of the box.  He saved the district three pieces of paper on each transaction and he was able to streamline the process and eliminate the cost of a third party.

The truly wonderful thing is I am seeing all of you talking to each other thinking and working on how to solve problems together.  This is how the "real world" business people are doing things.  Keep it up and let me know if there are ways I can assist.
