Google Accounts for grades 3-5

I am very excited that MCPS will be creating Google accounts for grades 3-5.  As an elementary librarian I like the fact that there will now be options for students besides Microsoft Office.  While Office is a good product, there is the disadvantage that not all students have access to it at home.  More students have internet access and therefore the ability to use Google Apps. at home.

I am also looking forward to getting a more in depth look at Google Apps. through this class.
