are six modules of training content available. Each module has several chapters with many lessons.
After reviewing the entire training course, an individual will have a solid understanding of all the products in the Google Apps suite.
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?

The Google Apps for Education Certification is an official "stamp of approval" from Google, and gives you access to additional marketing support, training opportunities, and business visibility in the Google Apps marketplace.

After watching this vdeo and reading http://edutraining.googleapps.com/Training-Home/module-1/chapter-3/4-1 I realized that managing these groups prior to the school year starting will be an important task to put on the administrators' lists. Groups will be used widely throughout our district and I am sure it will be used by you.
