Maryland Educational System Embraces Google Apps
Much to the disappointment of students (and perhaps teachers) everywhere, a new school year will soon start.? But Google’s celebrating something related to education this afternoon, as it’s secured the Maryland Education Enterprise Consortium as yet another Google Apps partner. Miriam Schneider wrote on the Official Google Enterprise Blog , “[W]e’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.? MEEC is comprised of the University System of Maryland, Maryland Higher Education Commission and Maryland Department of Education, and provides software resources and services to its 194 members across the state.” There’s more, too.? Schneider later continued, “In addition to Google Apps, this agreement also enables MEEC member institutions – for example University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) – to license Google Postini Services such as Google Message Security, for use with the existing email infrastructure to enhance Spam filtering and email security for students, faculty and staff.” So it seems that all sorts of people will soon get an introduction to a significant array of Google’s services.
