There is a growing need for the
use of Google Apps for
Education
There is a digital division
between teachers and
technology as some
technological equipment are
difficult to utilize and expensive
to purchase and maintain.
Reedy, G, (2008) conducted a research on the diffusion of technologies and their impact on learning which encourage universities worldwide to adopt Google Apps for Education in their schools and universities.

Intended audience are
teachers and students

The Innovation-Decision Process
Timeline
In February 2006 Google produced Gmail
followed later in the year by an
expansion to Google Apps.
In October Google gave educational
institutions to sign up for the service,
free of charge, and renamed it Google
Apps for Education.
By 2007, Google made all registration
public and all domains using GOOGLE
Apps would get increased storage.
October, 2007, Google announced an
increase in the email storage for Google
Apps domains.
Google Apps accounts are transferred to the
same back end as other Google accounts. This
aligns them so that they receive all updates at
the same time.
By 2013, Google Apps Education adopted by
many high end institutions , some of which
are shown in slide 7.
Towards the middle of the year Google began
providing GovCloud to host Apps in a new
environment. They also upgraded all their
services to be in sync with Microsoft Outlook
In January, 2009, Google Apps became a part
of the Lab Suites so users could add their
gadgets such as offline tasks, and vacation
time.

How can we measure its effectiveness?
Students and teachers will adopt it in their lessons.
Pre and Post Benchmark tests will be executed to determine growth.
Teachers and students will be surveyed on its usage and effectiveness, using questionnaires.
Questionnaires will be given each quarter of the year.

services. We actually had our student government tell us, we
want to implement Google Apps.’ “ Wendy Woodward,

There are several advantages in adopting a decentralized approach.
Google Apps for Education does not require expertise for installation and utilization.
Facilitates peer collaboration.
Adopters can help in the decision making process.
Enables adopters to also play the role of change agent.
The Google Apps for Education’s critical mass
stage occurred very early on in the adoption
process, so the rate of adoption was very rapid. It
occurred rapidly because educators were happy to
have access to a number of interactive innovations
under one umbrella.
