VIEW EMAIL ONLINE Update: Leaving Lotus Notes for Google Back in my Kick Off Your Week for Nov. 15, 2018, we announced exciting news that our long-anticipated move from the Lotus Notes platform to Google for Education was in the works. I'm happy to say that we're on schedule and that beginning on May 1, all HIDOE employees will have a Google (G Suite) account and a Gmail address ending in "@k12.hi.us". This move will help bring our digital work onto a common platform that can be shared among all offices, districts, schools and classrooms, and is accessible from any computer or mobile device with an internet connection. As part of your new G Suite account, you'll have access to apps like Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Classroom, Sites, Tasks, Calendar, Keep, Hangouts, Chat, Groups, Jamboard, Forms and Collections, that will help us take group collaboration to new heights on a simpler, more user-friendly interface. A HIDOE Google migration site is now available at https://sites.google.com/k12.hi.us/gsuite/ with FAQs and contact information for assistance. Bookmark that page as more info will be posted to the site as the migration continues. User training schedules are coming soon, and in May we'll begin forwarding incoming Lotus Notes emails and migrating existing Lotus Notes emails, including your archived emails and other data. Any staff who have built their own Lotus Notes applications (other than email or calendars) are advised to contact our project team at LN_Google@k12.hi.us. This upgrade will be a major step forward for HIDOE and help to unify us on a common, shared platform. I want to give Asst. Superintendent Brook Conner and his entire technology team at OITS kudos for their hard work in making this important evolution a reality for the entire HIDOE system. This operational upgrade represents another major step in modernizing our business platforms and functions to reflect the quality and excellence that will support our work in the next decade. Our haumana and our employees deserve nothing less! There are many more upgrades to come...
