I didn't even know what Google Apps Admin Console was before attending this brief introduction at the Google booth on the Expo floor. The instructor talked about key admin apps focus areas: the Organizational Units Structure (how to separate students and staff and aggregate students by class or school; Services available for business and schools; Administrative privileges - who has these and how do they use them?; Domain settings; core services; security and compliance; reporting.
All of this was a bit over my head, but it made me think about these questions for administrators when it comes to a system or school technology initiative:
What technology are we using and supporting?
Who is using this? What different levels of "user" do we have? (Admin, staff, student)
What services are available to users?
Who is designated administrator? What responsibilities and roles does the administrative user have?
What are the core services of this technology?
What type of security do we have and how is it monitored?
What types of reports can we generate about or with this technology?
I feel like we need to think
