A Google Apps for Education Runbook was developed for the Hawaii Department of Education at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, College of Education, Curriculum Research & Development Group (CRDG).  The Runbook guide is geared towards school-based technology coordinators and administrators interested in transitioning their schools to Google Apps for Education. In the past, technology coordinators have been left primarily on their own to deploy and administer their own Google Apps domains. This has had a number of negative effects that include but are not limited to  failed deployments, unsecured domains and lack of institutional buy-in.  It is the hope that a systematic, comprehensive and appropriate guide to deploying Google Apps will help schools enter confidently and effectively into the 21st century.
