Google Apps in the .EDU Domain
"The Wired Campus" is reporting Google Apps for Your Domain is finding a strong foothold in education:
Trinity College Dublin has switched to Google's e-mail application, Gmail. And universities in Egypt, Kenya, and Rwanda have also made the switch, the BBC reported yesterday. In Dublin, the news service says, "the addresses and domain name still remain the same -- but underneath the bonnet, it's a service provided by Google." Trinity College officials say they made the decision to outsource because it let them maintain a robust e-mail system at no additional cost; Google does all the work. Arizona State University made the same decision late last year to switch to Gmail, which also comes with a calendar and instant messaging, two items that are very attractive to students.We use Google Apps for Your Domain here at Boles University to manage our email, calendar, documents, blog and our virtual lives!
We like Google Apps so much, we're writing a book about it -- Google Apps for Your Domain Administrator Guide -- for Thomson publishing.
