06 Mar How to Change Your Google Account Profile Image & Why You Should Change It

Posted at 10:00h in education by

When your school issues you a Google Workspaces for Education account your profile picture will just be a simple letter icon featuring your initials. Many people leave it that way only because they don’t know how easy it is to change it. In the video below I demonstrate how to change your Google profile image.



Applications for Education

Changing your Google account profile image can help with name recognition so that parents begin to put a face with a name as soon as they start receiving emails from you. They won’t have to wait until the first parent-teacher conference or open house night to make the association between your face and name.

If you have more than one teacher in your district with the same name or similar names (at one point there were three Mr. Burns and a Mr. Byrne in my district) students seeing an email with your profile picture can visually confirm that they are emailing the correct person.

On a related note, a lot of people don’t realize that there is a difference between signing into a Chrome profile and signing into a Google account. I explained the difference in this short video.
