''Following exercise while signed in as a teacher (<code>e12345678@dekalbschoolsga.org</code>)''
===Summary===

Generally, DCSD's systems are restricted to internal collaboration—it's hard to allow outside account useful access. Google Accounts exist for all the teachers and students, but since Microsoft Office 365 is currently their primary, some Google G Suite things don't work, like email. Because of that, should probably lean Microsoft for now.
