We use Google Apps For Educators (GAFE) in many of our classes at The University of Findlay. \u00a0Due to the popularity of Gmail, many students already have a person Gmail account in addition to the GAFE account through The University.<\/p>\n

When I share a document with a group of students, I end up getting a flurry of emails that look like this.<\/p>\n

Request to share<\/p>\n

Edtech Class Document<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You are the owner of this item and StudentPersonalAccount@gmail.com has asked that you share this item with:<\/p>\n

StudentPersonalAccount@gmail.com<\/p>\n

Add these people in Sharing settings.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I share the documents with the student’s UF account, but the student is logged in with a personal account. \u00a0I have setup a shortcut to the UF login page<\/p>\n

http:\/\/bit.ly\/UFLOGIN<\/a><\/p>\n

Going through the UFNet login is complicated. \u00a0We don’t actually use Gmail for UF email. \u00a0Because it takes between four and six clicks, it is easy to get into a loop before getting logged into UF’s network.<\/p>\n

Google has a fix for this problem. \u00a0Using the Google Account Chooser, you can tell Google to permit multiple accounts to access one account’s files.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

https:\/\/accounts.google.com\/AccountChooser<\/a><\/p>\n

Add your personal and school accounts to the list and both will be able to access documents without the bother of the login loop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
