The Department of Public Instruction has partnered with Wisconsin’s CESAs to offer Wisconsin Google Apps for Education. Through a statewide agreement districts have greater access to Google Apps for Education. All Wisconsin public, PK-12 schools and related public agencies are covered under the statewide agreement. Wisconsin CESAs are providing professional development and technical deployment assistance.
What is Google Apps for Education?
The core applications in the Google Apps suite are an e-mail, chat, and calendar system (Gmail, Google Talk, Google Calendar), cloud collaboration software (Google Docs, Google Sites, Google Groups), and a private-domain online video platform (Google Video for Education). Also included are dozens of other services ranging from a popular blog platform (Blogger) to geographic imaging (Google Earth) to voicemail and telephone management (Google Voice). The applications are very easy to use and are housed on Google’s servers, allowing districts to reduce costs associated with maintaining their existing solutions.
