Google Apps for Education Turns Two at EDUCAUSE
November 12th, 2008 | Published in Google Apps, Google Enterprise
As we mentioned at the beginning of the month, the Google Apps for Education team recently celebrated its two year anniversary at the EDUCAUSE conference. Since our users are at the core of our mission for Google Apps, we invited our customers from schools around the country to join us for a special evening. We were excited to spend time with them because there's been a lot of activity with Google Apps over the past two years, especially in 2008. We kicked off the evening highlighting some of our significant milestones, including:
- We now have 2.5 million active users at thousands of universities worldwide
- We traveled more than 5,000 miles in a bio-diesel Google bus and met with students, faculty, and staff at 10 universities using Apps across the country.
- We recently announced some new web-based collaboration tools such as Google Video and Google Sites
