Steps to Implement
GOOGLE APPS FOR EDUCATION
Step 1: Purchase A Domain
• I used www.mydomain.com
• $10.47 per year
• Our domain name is cmisd.org
Step 2: Register this domain for Google Apps
By going here to Google Apps for Education
CNAME Records
Creating a CNAME record shows that you have access to your domain's
DNS settings, which proves to Google that you own the domain.

Step 2: Verify Domain Ownership
MX Records
An MX record identifies an email server available to the domain. Most
domains have multiple MX records, arranged in order of priority. When
someone sends an email message to the domain, the first available
server in the priority list handles the message.
