Tips for seniors - new for 2016!

Congratulations on being almost done with your high school career! As you prepare to graduate and move on to bigger and better things, the district IT department wants to make sure that you can take all your OSD data with you to college or work. Most student data is stored in Google Apps for Education in the oregonsd.net domain. If you have documents or files stored on the network server, you can copy them directly to Google Drive.

You can export your data directly from Google Drive (directions here), or perform an In-App Transfer. For example, you could move your documents, Gmail, calendar items, and websites from your @oregonsd.net account to your personal Gmail account, or to your new college or work account. 
You can also use a tool called Google Takeout to export all your Google data. You can save it for posterity, for when you are super famous in the future or whatever. Go to https://takeout.google.com/settings/takeout to get started.

We (the OSD IT department) don't own these tools, so we really can't support them, but wanted to let you know they exist. Best wishes!
