Hi IT Admins!

My name is David Chan (he/him).
I am a Director of Instructional Technology at Evanston Township High School D202 (Evanston, IL).
I'm a big fan of all things Chrome - Device settings, User settings, etc. My life got a little easier when we were able to pin things to the top of the admin console.
I want the GEAG to be my go-to safe space for support when I experience issues with Google Admin, but I also want to meet and network with admins from all over the world.
I'd love to see growth in membership, but also growth in activity. I want to hear voices from all types of educational environments and welcome the opportunity to learn and share with all of you.

Welcome David!

Yes, I too immediately pinned Users, Devices, Email Log Search, Admin Log Events and API Controls, even though I, of course, also have them as one-click bookmarks in Chrome, which is usually my go-to method of going anywhere in the console, as clicking through the menus is much too slow for a busy admin. 😎

We have some ways to go before we're back in the same glory as during the old Google+ era, when we had over 5600 members.
