Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, Indesign, Lightroom etc)
GBHS has purchased licenses to allow students to be able to use Adobe Creative Cloud on their own computers or on the school desktop computers. You need to get permission to use this from Ms Stopford and make sure your name has been sent to Yvette or Bluey to register you.

To install it on your computer, follow these simple instructions.

Open a web browser on your personal (not school-owned) computer and go to https://creativecloud.adobe.com
At the Sign in page use SIGN IN WITH GOOGLE, enter your school email address (this will be your [email protected]) and password.
Click Continue
Click on the Apps tab at the top of the screen
Select the application you want to use and click Download
On the Permission may be required box, click OK
The application will download to the usual location where your downloads are
On a Windows computer just double click the setup file to start the installation
Each application will have different installation options you can select.

Browser Hijacked?
Extensions are small applications that may add features to your browser, but some extensions are just not necessary at school and some can hijack your browser. Browser hijacking or 'pop-up phishing' involves fraudulent messages that unexpectedly pop up for users when they are surfing the web, they can also send you to other websites.
If this has happened to you.. uninstall your extensions that you installed:

Your Chromebook and Google passwords are the same. You change your password from any device when logged in to your Google account.

IMPORTANT: STUDENTS PLEASE CHECK YOUR CALENDAR to see your daily schedule.

Getting yourself ready:

Use a Chromebook or Laptop
Use the Google Chrome browser - this happens automatically when you use a Chromebook. If using a laptop - you must open it from your Desktop (or you can download it from here). This is important to get full functionality of your Google Account.
Make sure you are signed into the Chrome browser with your GBH email and that Sync is turned on.
If you are not Logged into Google Chrome with your school email - follow these instructions and Sync and Link the data when asked.

By signing into Chrome, you can take your bookmarks, history, and settings to all your devices. Anything you update on one device instantly updates everywhere else, and your Chrome stuff is safe in case anything happens to your computer as it is in the Cloud.

Student BYOD and Privacy
Question: Does GBHS spy on students personal devices?
Answer: All your internet use whilst at school is filtered and recorded. This information can be looked at if there is reason to believe you are using the internet inappropriately.

Any email you send or receive, using your school address, is logged and could be examined if necessary.
We cannot examine the hard drive contents of your personal device. We have no ability to monitor, filter or control your personal device in any way when you are outside the school.
We can collect and examine your personal device if a serious breach of our internet policy has been committed.

Leaving School?
Use Google Takeout to transfer your School Google files from Gmail, Drive etc to your own Personal Gmail account.

Note: You cannot take your GBH school email address with you - it will be suspended when you leave... So don't sign up to things using your school email address if it is for personal use - use your own gmail account, not your school one.

Microsoft Office 365 for Students
If you wish to have a copy of this installed on your own device for free please go to this site and register with your school email address. Note: You must be over 13 years of age. Please only install this if you think you need Microsoft Office on your own device. It is quite a big programme so it will take up room on your computer, and it will stop working when you leave our school. Here is a PDF with all the information.

We recommend using Google Workspace for Education - but Office 365 is available for students who would like it.

If you need further help email Yvette or Bluey or pop in and see us (Monday, Tuesday and Thursday only) - you can find us in the office in Room21.
