WIth the district taking advantage of Google Apps for Education, it is possible that you will have two (or more) different Google accounts that you will use for various purposes.  There isn't anything wrong with this situation, but you'll have to pay attention to the account you're logged into at any given moment, because you can't be logged into more than one at a time (though see below for a way around this limitation).  You'll also have to decide which documents and calendars you want to move from your personal account into your D102 domain account.  (See the related articles below for more information on migrating specific types of data.)

Here are  few tips for working with more than one Google account:

Use two different browsers

Perhaps the easiest way to work with a district Google Apps account and a personal Google account is to use two different browsers.  For example, if you're preferred browser is Safari, you can use that exclusively for your D102 account and then open Firefox when you want to log into your personal account.  This is especially helpful if you are migrating data (like documents or calendars) because you can be logged into both.
