I was very interested in the article as a link on the Evolving Technologies link located at http://www.educause.edu/EvolvingTechnologiesReports/869
Integrating Google Suite for Higher Education
http://www.educause.edu/ir/library/pdf/DEC0703.pdf
Until last quarter I had not even heard of Google Suite. Although difficult to work with at times and its limitations in maintaining formatting when editing, I feel that Google Suite of applications would offer our students opportunities and experience with software utilizing in both communication and utility tools. Many of our students although they might have computers can not afford the expensive software programs of Microsoft Office. They however are not allowable at our schools. I am not sure if it is only not allowable by our tech coordinator or is this a state wide policy due to security issues. Does anyone else’s school districts allow Google applications access?
