Why Google?
Google Apps in Education offered the services we needed for our staff: web sites, email, online collaboration with google docs -- all free for education. We were able to create a public presence about the school for the community and a private community for students. Even archiving using Google Vault is free to schools. The low maintenance, free services offered by Google help us create a collaborative community for the school and our school community. Thank you, Google!
Here's an example of group collaboration. Google Presentation helped grades 5-8 create this terrific Thank You in two days! Students presented it at the Colville Tribal Council.
