Apps Education Edition
Google Apps Education Edition is a broad IT solution that schools can use to
bring communication and collaboration tools to the entire academic
community for free. Google manages all the technology details, so you can
focus your time, energy and budgets on teaching your kids.
Students, teachers and staff can share ideas more quickly and get things done
more effectively when they have access to the same powerful communication
and sharing tools. Google Apps Education Edition lets tech administrators
provide email, sharable online calendars, instant messaging tools and even a
dedicated website to faculty, students and staff for free. There's no hardware or
software to install or maintain, since everything is delivered through a standard
web browser -- anytime, from anyplace.
You can mix and match from the following services for your entire school :
Gmail - Offer email to your faculty, students and staff with 2 gigabytes of storage
per account, search tools to help them find information fast, and instant
messaging built right into the browser (chat can easily be disabled for the whole
school if you don't want students to be able to IM with their accounts).
Google Talk - Teachers and students can call or send instant messages to their
contacts for free -- anytime, anywhere in the world. Imagine the possibilities for
people collaborating on projects from different locations.
Google Calendar - Everyone can organize their schedules and share events,
meetings and entire calendars with others. You can even publish the school
calendar on your website to let families know about events like back-to-school
nights, homecoming and vacation days.
Google Docs - Students and teachers can create documents, spreadsheets and
presentations and then collaborate with each other in real-time right inside a
web browser window.
Google Sites - Create a class site and edit it the same way you'd edit a
document -- no technical expertise required. Your site can bring together all the
information you want to share with your colleagues and students, including
docs, calendars, photos, videos and attachments.

the 81st Legislature passed House Bill 3, which required the state comptroller to perform a
public education study. The information included in this study and on this website ranks
school districts and campuses using academic and financial rating indicators. I will provide a
brief outline of the FAST system in my staff report. Attached is a PowerPoint released
earlier this fall that provides a concise overview of the FAST system.
