Hi Brian,<br />
<br />
We have been using Google Apps in a Public School (grades 7-12) in Ontario.<br />
<br />
It has been very successful. It now includes Postini security suite behind it so we can filter and audit emails. So far (knock wood) we have had not problems with students emailing.<br />
<br />
Here are a couple of links<br />

Why restrict the students from using email? It seems insane to me!<br />
Give them tools! Teach them responsible use! Develop creative and critical thinking netizens!

I installed this on my own server for my third graders to use. I disabled gmail through the admin and focused on the Docs app. Huge success. Students had access to files and apps at home and school. Highly recommend it.

Google Apps or Google Applications is a set of free tools that can be used by a schools or small business. It is essentially Gmail, Google Sites, Google Docs, Google Calendar. They are all put under an entire school umbrella with a separate log-in for the school (the tech people can set this up). The applications are amazing and increase collaboration and communication within a school and a district. There's more info here.…

The tech folks at our school are implementing Google Apps for Education next fall. They warned us that if we had already signed up using our school e-mail, then we would lose EVERYTHING. Did you run into this problem? Any idea how I can create a new Google account and "copy" my mail, calendar and reader information?
