    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 donemore 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

    1. The FAST website became active on Wednesday December 8. In the last legislative sessionthe 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 ranksschool 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.
