Schools-On-I-Net and Google Apps for Education Presentation
By Schools-On-I-Net | September 3, 2008
Schools-On-I-Net offers weekly webinars so you can get to know us and our software.
We encourage collaboration among educators, engagement with parents, and use of technology to teach in the world students now learn and thrive in: the digital world.
We provide a paperless education system, simply because we care about our environment. The win-win-win of it is that our schools use less paper, less toner, fewer stamps and spend less time sending out mailings or answering redundant phone calls…so they can save some money and some trees in the process.
We provide support services including telephone, web, and online resources because any system is as good as it can be used… and we want you to use ours.

Google Apps for Education and Schools-On-I-Net
By Schools-On-I-Net | August 8, 2008
Schools-On-I-Net Integrates with Google Apps for Education for the 2008-2009 school year, starting with Gmail.
Schools-On-I-Net has replaced its SOINMail system with Gmail provided by Google Apps for Education giving our schools the best in innovative technologies. Integrating with Gmail for schools provides schools with a more sophisticated integrated email solution.To highlight some of the new functionality we get with this change:
- Auto-Save Drafts
- Advanced Spell Check
- Targeted Group Email from Communications Module inserted in “Sent” folder showing the BCC recipient list
- Multi-language support includes Hebrew, Spanish, Russian, Arabic, and more
- Gmail User-Interface, branded with school domain and logo
- Gmail Search capability
Note: Gmail in Google Apps for Education has the option of turning OFF the ads that are shown on the right hand side of the standard Gmail account.
What’s more.. Gmail integration is just the beginning… Google Apps for Education provides more applications that will be integrated with Schools-On-I-Net in the future, Google Docs, Google Sites, Google Chat, etc.
Schools-On-I-Net acts as the Google Apps for Education Integration Specialist. The school must sign up for a Google Apps for Education account, then provide us with access to the API’s so we can manage the integration.
Spotlight on Yavneh Academy, Paramus, NJ
We presented the Gmail Integration with Schools-On-I-Net to the faculty and staff of Yavneh Academy, Paramus, NJ.

What does this all mean? Integration of Google Apps for Education with Schools-On-I-Net means:
- Users will continue to use the Single Login from the school’s SOIN website to the Gmail account
- Account add/update/delete functionality through SOIN’s User Maintenance Admin Section reflects in Gmail user accounts.
- Send Email and Communications Modules insert Sent mails to the Gmail account “Sent” folder, showing BCC recipient list.
- New Message Indicator on the SOIN user homepage shows the count of new messages available in the user’s Gmail account
- Contacts in SOIN (new/updated/deleted users) reflected in Gmail Contacts

Uniqueness
By Schools-On-I-Net | July 22, 2008
The educational process has six direct stakeholders. They are: Teachers, Administrators, Parents and Students (TAPS), and the Community and Suppliers.
Schools On I-Net takes information from the four main TAPS stakeholders in the educational process and creates a matrix of common information and communication. The result is that information entered once can be made available to all for viewing, evaluating, scheduling or collaborating. Efficiencies are increased and workloads decreased when information is shared. Best of all, student scores, school spirit, and parental involvement are all up, and support the efforts of the school system.
There are other platforms that almost do what Schools On I-Net does. Some programs even have similar features, but, no one does what the Schools On I-Net platform does. It took RK Solutions over four years and many thousands of man-hours to develop the algorithms that make the Schools On I-Net platform as beneficial and useful as it is.
