extremely pleased. Right now we mostly use the google docs application.
We really like the easy access to google doc files from any web enabled
computing device (no emailing files b/t school and home or using USB
portable storage for moving files), the simple and clean user interface
of google docs, the collaboration and sharing features, and the host of
import/export options. =20
Some of our students use the email feature, but most of them already
have a 3rd party email account that they use. We only enabled web mail
access, but if you go the distance there is an opportunity for
integration b/t your organization's email system and the email feature.
It is very, very easy to setup/import users and the administrative
counsel is very straightforward and simple. =20
I would like to see a few other google services such as blogger and
picassa offered in their apps for education bundle. But for google docs
alone, it has been great for us.
Good luck,
