Sharing information and ideas is vital to learning. So imagine how valuable it would be if your entire campus community shared a set of powerful, easy-to-use and integrated communication and collaboration services. With Google Apps for Education, you can offer all of your students innovative email, instant messaging, and calendaring, all for free.* You can select any combination of our available services (see below), and customize them with your school's logo, color scheme and content. You can manage your users through an easy web-based console or use our available APIs to integrate the services into your existing systems &mdash and it's all hosted by Google, so there's no hardware or software for you to install or maintain.

The first state to equip students statewide with laptops, Maine has just signed a new contract with Apple Computer to continue the program four more years. Under the $41 million contract, Apple will equip 32,000 students and 4,000 teachers with new iBooks and upgraded wireless networks. The old computers will be refurbished and deployed elsewhere in Maine school systems--further extending the program's reach.
