Edina Schools was recently announced as one of 10 global winners of a campaign put on by Google Apps.  Called Gone Google, the campaign asked organizations and companies from around the world  to share how they have integrated Google Apps into their workflow for the better.  Edina Schools was one of six places from the US selected.

As a parent of children in the Edina School system, I can’t explain how nice it is to be able to check what homework is due on a public Google Doc, or be able to see what spots are open for a volunteer opportunity and then be able to sign up right away…all online.  I can only hope that they use this public success to go further, integrating teaching videos, audio, and interactive student components to make the great schools they have even better.

It looks as though Google is going to write up a post featuring how Edina has been utilizing Google Apps within the next week or so.  I’ll make sure to link to that post when it is available. For now, here’s more information from Google on the Gone Google Campaign: Gone Google Stories

UPDATE: Here’s the link to the write-up on Google’s Enterprise Blog written by Molly Schroeder, the Technology Integration Specialist at Edina Public Schools: Our Gone Google Story: At Edina Public Schools Google Apps helps students learn without boundaries
