The latest on Google Apps for Education
October 30, 2008
It was exactly two years ago at the
EDUCAUSE conference
that we first announced our free
Google Apps
offering for educational institutions. We've kept pretty busy in that time, working closely with thousands of schools to reach 2.5 million students, staff, and faculty actively using Google Apps on campuses across the globe. As part of this mission, we also recently drove our
eco-friendly bus
(think bio-fuel and solar panels) to universities across the country to hear directly from people using Google Apps. Here's what some of them had to say:
One thing hasn't changed in the last two years: Google Apps still offers academic institutions, from neighborhood schools to international universities, free integrated solutions for email, calendaring, and online document and site sharing. We're glad to be back at EDUCAUSE this week in Orlando to reminisce about how far technology in education has come since 2006, and to look forward toward even more possibilities for innovation.
If you're involved in education, check out
Google Apps
to see if it can help make your school a more effective learning community. And if you're a student, visit the newly launched
Google for Students Blog
to find Google-related information relevant to you.
