[elearning] Google comes to Monash

[Robert Ruzbacky]

Interesting reading. Our school was contemplating the same move with
emails by using Gmail (as well as using the other Google apps available).
Still in intial discussion stages at the moment.

Google offers some education pricing for this if you want more control in
setting addresses up with your domain. Not sure about monitoring though as
sometimes we get requests from co-ordinators to view student emails if
there is a problem such as bullying, etc.
