Google Apps for EDU

[1giglimit at gmail.com (Noah)]

In general I'd probably trust Google's security to that of a school any day.
Phishing attacks can happen on any provider, while an e-mail server is
something relatively hard to run. Someone needs to keep up with updates,
anti-spam, check that accounts are not being used to send spam etc,
something which Google are likely to do better than a school.

Subject: [Pauldotcom] Google Apps for EDU

Greetings All,

I am curious to get your opinion on Google Apps For EDU.  My son's school is
moving to Google Apps for EDU.  While the cloud computing concept is great
idea, the cloud is not secure, mostly because the school does not have
direct control who has access to the data or is able to protect my son's
information.  For example the recent hotmail account issues and the various
phishing attacks which comprises the google and yahoo accounts all the time.
I am preparing to write a letter to school district explaining my
reservations about using these apps.  I am curious though to here what the
pauldotcom community has to say about this.  I am looking over the policies
and such, which Google Apps has posted for some legal loop holes and I will
post the information if Ifind any.

thanks to All
