Google has released Google Team Edition Apps which offer great tools for schools to offer collaborative applications for students in a safe, controlled environment. The great feature of Team Edition compared to Education Edition is that email is not required or available, so you don’t have to worry about providing students access to email. Check out Google’s 2 minute video below on the features of Team Edition.
I watched a great Ustream presentation by Kevin Jarrett and Kathy Field, both from Northfield Community School, discuss a classroom project utilizing Google Team Edition (Click here to view video). They share how they set up Google for their classroom, introduced it to students, and an evaluation of how the project went. Kevin and Kathy both offer great tips on how to use these tools in the classroom and discuss how they monitor student use.
