A BIT ABOUT G-SUITE

• We do not have a google email account, so gmail will not work

• You can use your @nburlington email to login as a Google account to other sites and services

• Your Google account and email account will require Duo Security confirmation

• Your most used applications will most likely be Google Drive and Google Classroom
