If you don't have mail turned on for your school Google Apps accounts, you can still save and manage contact information using the 'standalone' Contact Manager. 'Standalone' simply means that you do not need to use Apps mail or any other product to get to your contacts - they can now be accessed directly.
This might be a handy way to save old contacts instead of importing all. As the WCSU team transitions form one email address to another....this may be a good solution to keeping old and at the same time starting fresh with new ones to the district.
Anyone have experience using this feature?
Transitions are going to be a big challenge for us. Lots of dynamic individuals with much different skill levels. Looks like this is a nice alternative to "hand holding" for those who are a bit more savvy!
