As a recent grad from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (NC A&T), I found the relationship between Google and HBCUs to be especially meaningful.<br /><br /><br /><br />As with all schools, Google provides HBCUs with free and powerful <a href="//www.google.com/apps/intl/en/edu/#utm_campaign=en_us&utm_source=en-na-us-entblog-hbcus_0819&utm_medium=blog">tools for teaching and learning</a> that help students, staff and faculty be more efficient, productive and collaborative on campus.

The students wanted more up-to-date and user-friendly features to help them work and communicate better with fellow students and faculty. When I sat with campus administrators to present the idea of upgrading to Google Apps for Education, I never realized how simple the task could actually be.<br /><br /><br /><br />I’m proud to see my alma mater on the cutting edge of innovation as they move to Google Apps for Education. Making the switch to Google Apps will give the A&T community the convenience and mobility that it desires. Barbara Ellis, Vice Chancellor of Information Technology says, “At NC A&T, we are always looking for opportunities to enhance services to our students. Google Apps for Education brings our email implementation into the forefront and allows us to embrace a technology platform that is relevant to our student population. Our relationship with Google is one that we can continue to build on.”<br /><br /><br /><br />I am elated to be a part of a company that gives back to universities like my alma mater, and I’m honored to be a graduate of an HBCU gone Google.

I know the UConn community will find amazing and innovative ways to exploit the tools Google is providing. And to all those students out there: even though you can’t knock on my door at 3am so I can fix the server anymore, rest assured the teams here at Google work 24 x 7 x 365 to make sure we’ll never be the excuse for your paper being late.<br /><br />* <i><span class="Apple-style-span">Gopher was an early system for distributing, searching and retrieving information over the Internet.

We wanted to share some of the great stories we've heard from students and teachers in Colorado, Canada, Brown University, and Iowa.<br /><br />Littleton Public Schools (LPS) in Colorado decided to "go Google" in the <a href="http://www.littletonpublicschools.net/DISTRICTINFORMATION/CommunitySupport/GetInvolved/LPSBlogs/tabid/656/EntryId/394/Google-Apps-for-Education-in-LPS.aspx">fall of 2010</a> and <a href="http://www.littletonpublicschools.net/DISTRICTINFORMATION/CommunitySupport/GetInvolved/LPSBlogs/tabid/656/EntryId/406/Student-Viewpoints.aspx">students</a> are giving Google Apps high marks for working on collaborative projects.

Moving to Google will ultimately have a positive and transformative effect on teaching and learning on campus.” The migration will not only improve campus-wide communication and collaboration, but will reduce the current 80+ independent email servers on campus to one single system for everyone. <br /><br />In the US, we are also thrilled to welcome some of the other schools, colleges and universities that have recently joined the family of more than 11 million users of Google Apps for Education, including:<br /><ul><li>Douglas County School District</li><li>Humboldt State University</li><li>Lakeshore Technical College</li><li>Linn-Benton Community College</li><li>Madison Metropolitan School District</li><li>Santa Barbara City College</li><li>St. Joseph School District</li><li>SUNY Fredonia</li><li>Township High School District</li><li>University of Wisconsin, Madison</li><li>Western Oregon University</li></ul><br /><span class="byline-author">Posted by Lauren Miskelly, Google Apps for Education Team</span> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2011/03/the-green-and-gold-goes-google.html'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Official Google Cloud Blog:The Green and Gold Goes Google&url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2011/03/the-green-and-gold-goes-google.html&via=gsuite'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2011/03/the-green-and-gold-goes-google.html'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> <div class='comment-container'> <i class='comment-img material-icons'>  </i> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='4' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2011/03/the-green-and-gold-goes-google.html' data-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2011/03/the-green-and-gold-goes-google.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2011/03/the-green-and-gold-goes-google.html' data-viewtype='FILTERED_POSTMOD'></div> <a href='https://plus.google.com/112374322230920073195' rel='author' style='display:none;'> Google </a> <div class='label-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'> Labels: </span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/education' rel='tag'> education </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/gonegoogle' rel='tag'> gonegoogle </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Apps' rel='tag'> Google Apps </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/university' rel='tag'> university </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='4369243069409457169' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2011/03/college-basketball-2011-over-50-of.html' itemprop='url' title='College Basketball 2011: Over 50% of the bracket has gone Google'> College Basketball 2011: Over 50% of the bracket has gone Google </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Thursday, March 17, 2011 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <div><i>[Cross-posted from the <a href="http://googleforstudents.blogspot.com/2011/03/college-basketball-2011-over-50-of.html">Google Student Blog</a>]</i></div><div><br /></div>March is a special time for college basketball enthusiasts as the <a href="//www.google.com/collegebasketball2011">NCAA® Championship games</a> heat up.

When I began using the World Wide Web in 1993 I vowed never to write a native application program again and said "every desktop computer program going forward should simply run in a Web browser." Since the main reason to prepare a document was for others to view, I predicted that everyone would be using browser-based word processors and spreadsheet programs by the year 2000. I am still waiting for my "everyone goes to work in a flying car" prediction to come true also...<br /><br />In January 2011, four of us were developing <a href="http://philip.greenspun.com/teaching/three-day-rdbms/">an entirely new course for MIT students</a>, an intensive lab-based SQL programming and Android development class. All of us are proficient Web developers accustomed to authoring pages in standard text editors and publishing them on our own servers, but it turned out to be easier and more effective to use Google Docs to collaboratively develop course materials. <a href="http://docs.google.com/#utm_campaign=pg_blogpost&utm_source=en-na-us-entblog-pg_blogpost_02252011&utm_medium=blog">Google Docs</a> was more effective because simultaneous updates could proceed in different areas of a document and we weren't slowed down by having to do explicit check-ins with a standard version control system (or circulate drafts with names such as "DayOneProblems-final-version-by-philg-really-really-final"). Also, the "insert a comment" feature of Google Docs proved useful, e.g., when I wasn't sure if an example program was correct and wanted to ask a collaborator to check, but without leaving crud in the main body of the document.<br /><br />We created two Google Docs folders the night before class: <b>lessons</b>, editable by us and view-only for students; <b>workspace</b>, editable by everyone. Into the "lessons" folder we moved the first day's assignment. In the "workspace" folder we created a "Day 1 Workspace" document intended for students to cut and paste code into. As each student walked into the classroom, we asked him or her to email a teacher from his or her Google Account (most students already had Gmail and some experience with Google Docs) and the teacher would share both folders with the new student, immediately enabling access to all lessons.<br /><br />As the course materials had never been used before, they contained some errors and many sections that lacked sufficient hints or explanations. When we noticed these deficiencies, e.g., when a student asked a question, we would edit the problem set from a teacher's laptop and all students would immediately see the change on the projector and/or on their own screens.<br /><br />Google Docs enabled us to distribute solutions incrementally. The first morning we created a "Day 1 Solutions (January 2011)" document and dragged it into the lessons (view-only for students) folder. As the day progressed, when 90 percent of the students were done with a problem, we would add the solution to the end of this document (by copying from another Google Doc, of course) so that students would have it in front of them and be prepared for the discussion.<br /><br />The shared Google Docs workspace documents enabled us to have students paste their work into shared documents that could be used for projection and discussion and also for members of the class to try out each other's SQL queries.<br /><br />To gather feedback at the end of the course, we simply created a feedback document and put it into the workspace folder, then used the "email editors/viewers" feature (from the Share menu) to ask students to add their thoughts, including whether they liked Google Docs ("great for sharing solutions"; "very effective"; "Generally yes, I did get a little confused with all the browser tabs I had open"; "very efficient and comfortable"; "green too").<br /><br />We were technical people teaching a technical course, but everything that we did with Google Docs would have been easy for a person without any programming or HTML authoring background. Google Docs was an important asset for our course and significantly enhanced the in-classroom experience.<br /><br />You can read more about our experience, including our wishlist, at <a href="http://philip.greenspun.com/teaching/using-google-docs-for-classroom-instruction">http://philip.greenspun.com/teaching/using-google-docs-for-classroom-instruction</a><br /><br /><span class="byline-author">Posted by <a href="http://philip.greenspun.com/">Philip Greenspun</a>, founder of <a href="http://photo.net/">photo.net</a> and co-author of <a href="http://philip.greenspun.com/seia/">Software Engineering for Internet Applications</a></span></div> </script> <noscript> <div><div style="display: inline !important; ">[cross-posted from the <a href="http://googledocs.blogspot.com#utm_campaign=pg_blogpost&utm_source=en-na-us-entblog-pg_blogpost_02252011&utm_medium=blog">Google Docs blog</a>]</div></div><div style="font-style: italic; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; "><i><div style="display: inline !important; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; "><i><br /></i></span></div></i></span></div><div style="font-style: italic; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; "><i><div style="display: inline !important; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; "><i>Guest Post: Philip Greenspun is a pioneer in developing online communities and an educator who has taught electrical engineering and computer science courses at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology since 1987.Today he explains how he used Google Docs to develop and distribute curricular materials and to support in-classroom discussion of student solutions.</i></span></div></i></span></div><div><br />In 1983, I began building applications to support multi-user collaboration over the Internet.

All of us are proficient Web developers accustomed to authoring pages in standard text editors and publishing them on our own servers, but it turned out to be easier and more effective to use Google Docs to collaboratively develop course materials. <a href="http://docs.google.com/#utm_campaign=pg_blogpost&utm_source=en-na-us-entblog-pg_blogpost_02252011&utm_medium=blog">Google Docs</a> was more effective because simultaneous updates could proceed in different areas of a document and we weren't slowed down by having to do explicit check-ins with a standard version control system (or circulate drafts with names such as "DayOneProblems-final-version-by-philg-really-really-final"). Also, the "insert a comment" feature of Google Docs proved useful, e.g., when I wasn't sure if an example program was correct and wanted to ask a collaborator to check, but without leaving crud in the main body of the document.<br /><br />We created two Google Docs folders the night before class: <b>lessons</b>, editable by us and view-only for students; <b>workspace</b>, editable by everyone. Into the "lessons" folder we moved the first day's assignment. In the "workspace" folder we created a "Day 1 Workspace" document intended for students to cut and paste code into. As each student walked into the classroom, we asked him or her to email a teacher from his or her Google Account (most students already had Gmail and some experience with Google Docs) and the teacher would share both folders with the new student, immediately enabling access to all lessons.<br /><br />As the course materials had never been used before, they contained some errors and many sections that lacked sufficient hints or explanations. When we noticed these deficiencies, e.g., when a student asked a question, we would edit the problem set from a teacher's laptop and all students would immediately see the change on the projector and/or on their own screens.<br /><br />Google Docs enabled us to distribute solutions incrementally. The first morning we created a "Day 1 Solutions (January 2011)" document and dragged it into the lessons (view-only for students) folder. As the day progressed, when 90 percent of the students were done with a problem, we would add the solution to the end of this document (by copying from another Google Doc, of course) so that students would have it in front of them and be prepared for the discussion.<br /><br />The shared Google Docs workspace documents enabled us to have students paste their work into shared documents that could be used for projection and discussion and also for members of the class to try out each other's SQL queries.<br /><br />To gather feedback at the end of the course, we simply created a feedback document and put it into the workspace folder, then used the "email editors/viewers" feature (from the Share menu) to ask students to add their thoughts, including whether they liked Google Docs ("great for sharing solutions"; "very effective"; "Generally yes, I did get a little confused with all the browser tabs I had open"; "very efficient and comfortable"; "green too").<br /><br />We were technical people teaching a technical course, but everything that we did with Google Docs would have been easy for a person without any programming or HTML authoring background. Google Docs was an important asset for our course and significantly enhanced the in-classroom experience.<br /><br />You can read more about our experience, including our wishlist, at <a href="http://philip.greenspun.com/teaching/using-google-docs-for-classroom-instruction">http://philip.greenspun.com/teaching/using-google-docs-for-classroom-instruction</a><br /><br /><span class="byline-author">Posted by <a href="http://philip.greenspun.com/">Philip Greenspun</a>, founder of <a href="http://photo.net/">photo.net</a> and co-author of <a href="http://philip.greenspun.com/seia/">Software Engineering for Internet Applications</a></span></div> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2011/02/guest-post-google-docs-for-classroom.html'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Official Google Cloud Blog:Guest Post: Google Docs for Classroom Instruction&url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2011/02/guest-post-google-docs-for-classroom.html&via=gsuite'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2011/02/guest-post-google-docs-for-classroom.html'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> <div class='comment-container'> <i class='comment-img material-icons'>  </i> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='1' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2011/02/guest-post-google-docs-for-classroom.html' data-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2011/02/guest-post-google-docs-for-classroom.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2011/02/guest-post-google-docs-for-classroom.html' data-viewtype='FILTERED_POSTMOD'></div> <a href='https://plus.google.com/112374322230920073195' rel='author' style='display:none;'> Google </a> <div class='label-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'> Labels: </span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/education' rel='tag'> education </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/university' rel='tag'> university </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='1417788937574285278' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2011/02/going-google-guide-for-schools-and.html' itemprop='url' title='Going Google: A Guide for Schools and Universities'> Going Google: A Guide for Schools and Universities </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Tuesday, February 1, 2011 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> We talk a lot about “<a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/gonegoogle">going Google</a>”, and with more schools and universities – like Ann Arbor Public Schools, <a href="http://google.bryant.edu/">Bryant University</a>, Bucknell University, Henry Ford Community College, <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/11/passing-torch-to-cloud-nyu-is-going.html">NYU</a>, Oklahoma State University, and Southern Oregon University – migrating to <a href="//www.google.com/a/help/intl/en/edu/index.html#utm_campaign=gogoogleguide&utm_source=en-na-us-entblog02011-gogoogleguide&utm_medium=blog">Google Apps for Education</a> every day, we want to help make it as easy (and fun) as possible to make the move.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div>Whether you are just thinking about launching Apps, or you’re toasting to your <a href="http://campustechnology.com/articles/2010/10/14/a-cloud-class-faces-graduation.aspx">first graduating class</a> after four years in the cloud – it’s always a good idea to educate your users about the new ways they can teach and learn with Google Apps.

But like any good commencement address will tell you, this is only the beginning. <br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><embed flashvars="host=picasaweb.google.com&hl=en_US&feat=flashalbum&RGB=0x000000&feed=http%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.com%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2Fg.apps.education%2Falbumid%2F5527862394412272129%3Falt%3Drss%26kind%3Dphoto%26hl%3Den_US" height="267" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" src="//picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400"></embed></div><br /><span class="byline-author">Posted by Miriam Schneider, Google Apps for Education Team</span> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2010/10/strike-up-band-over-10-million-have.html'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Official Google Cloud Blog:Strike up the band: over 10 million have gone Google with Apps for Education&url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2010/10/strike-up-band-over-10-million-have.html&via=gsuite'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2010/10/strike-up-band-over-10-million-have.html'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> <div class='comment-container'> <i class='comment-img material-icons'>  </i> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='0' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2010/10/strike-up-band-over-10-million-have.html' data-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2010/10/strike-up-band-over-10-million-have.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2010/10/strike-up-band-over-10-million-have.html' data-viewtype='FILTERED_POSTMOD'></div> <a href='https://plus.google.com/112374322230920073195' rel='author' style='display:none;'> Google </a> <div class='label-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'> Labels: </span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/education' rel='tag'> education </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Apps' rel='tag'> Google Apps </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/university' rel='tag'> university </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='8762488725354172134' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2010/08/seventh-us-state-is-fourth-to-head-to.html' itemprop='url' title='Seventh U.S. state is fourth to head to the cloud'> Seventh U.S. state is fourth to head to the cloud </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Friday, August 6, 2010 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> Today we’re happy to announce that The Maryland Education Enterprise Consortium (MEEC) will make Google Apps for Education available to 1.4 million students in the state.
