Is This Our New Direction
It appears that The Oregon Department of Education today will begin offering Google Apps to all public school districts in the state. The move will save the cash-strapped Oregon schools $1.5 million per year, according to a Wednesday blog post by Google Apps Education Manager Jaime Casap. Is this truly the direction that Google is going and will companies and systems support this ASP offering?
