Oregon Dept of Education – April 28 • Money is often the top issue when it comes to educational reform, and the outlook for Google Apps is certainly good. The Oregon Department of Education estimates a savings of $1.5 million per year. Even the relatively humble Maine Township District 207 in Illinois, another school system that currently utilizes Google Apps, estimates their savings to be an impressive $160,000 each year. • Google Apps for educational institutions is free. The savings largely come from the replacement of legacy e-mail systems and desktop office application suites, and these figures include the associated costs of IT support and infrastructure upgrades. For Steve Nelson, Technology of Director of Oregon Virtual Schools, these savings allow the state to provide multimedia streaming services that support student-generated content, which he says was “not economically feasible” without Google. Henry Thiele, IT director for District 207 says he is “surprised by how many schools don’t even know that [Google apps] is there.” And, when they hear about the opportunity, says, Thiele, they’re curious to know “what the catch is.” Thiele simply responds, “There is no catch.”
Cost FREE will remain free as long as the product’s around. • promise from Google

COPPA, CIPA and FERPA • http://www.ftc.gov/privacy/coppafaqs.shtm#schools • 55. Does COPPA apply to website operators that contract with schools to provide online services involving the collection, use or disclosure of students’ personal information? • Many school districts contract with third-party website operators to offer online programs solely for the benefit of their students and for the school system, e.g., homework help lines or web-based testing services. COPPA does not apply to the website operator’s collection of personal information from participating children where a school has contracted with an operator to collect personal information from students for the use and benefit of the school, and for no other commercial purpose. Thus, the operator is not required to obtain consent directly from parents, and can presume that the school’s authorization for the collection of students’ personal information is based upon the school having obtained the parents’ consent. The operator should, however, provide the school with full notice of its collection, use, and disclosure practices, so that the school may inform parents of these practices in its Acceptable Use Policy. • Generic Google Docs is a violation, BUTGoogle Apps for Education is permissible because the school controls the access and manages the collection of student information
