Wave and Update on Student Accounts

Google just killed Wave

I was never a big fan of Wave, so I don't see this as being a big deal. It took me a while to figure out what to use it for and it did have some cool features. Google plans to put those features in their other products. I had previously enabled Wave for our Google Apps and for the students. I disabled them today. I hope Buzz is not next, I think it could be beneficial to the district.

I have finished my part of the setting up Google Apps for the students. The ball is now in Gaggle's court. Google recently made some changes and it looks like we may be able to setup every student with a Google Apps account, but turn off email for students in grades 3 and below. I do want your opinion if we should offer email to the younger students.
