Greetings! I am a learning professional with 17 years of experience in the corporate world. I have worked and led the Learning teams of companies such as Accenture and Avaya. I am now branching out on my own and looking at developing Apps from an Enterprise Applications Training perspective. Thank you very much for the Promo Code! As they say a penny saved is a penny earned.

It’s not quick and easy to get apps approved by Apple but one thing I’ve learned is that the approval process has caused us to really push towards excellence. The standards are high, which means we’ve really pushed towards those high standards.

Let me know what you decide to do! And by the way, if me and my 6th graders can get apps approved, I suspect you certainly can.

Yes, I’ve used Gaggle. The trouble, I find, is that monitoring sounds like a good idea in theory but ends up being incredibly labor-intensive. You ultimately need to dedicate someone to spend their time reading likely innocuous emails. With Google you get a much more robust ecosystem and infrastructure, and you can certainly limit what students do when Google is properly configured. For example, in my district, students can only email other students or teachers. They can’t send or receive email from outside their domain.

Lastly, most inappropriate communications between anyone in a school happen outside of the school’s established email system. They happen on Facebook, text, etc. Those are outside the purview of even Gaggle.

Just my two cents.

To make it easier, why not email me at chris at palmettolearning.com and we can set up a call to talk through this.

Please forward me your thoughts as for why Google Apps makes more sense than Gaggle. I would like to utilize it for the kids, especially since we are already using it for the staff. However, I have some teacher with experience with Gaggle that say we already know how to use it, it has more capabilities that Google for monitoring email (I have not confirmed that) and so we are considering just using Gaggle.

thanks.
