Schools-On-I-Net online school management allows administrators to work on class data while allowing parents and students to access community links during the summer.

There is a setting for admins to hide class information from parents/students and teachers while at the same time allowing them to continue accessing their Google Apps accounts, plus other important links like Forms, Photo Galleries, Newsletters and more.

Office staff and academic administrators will be able to login as usual and see their full accounts so they can work on class lists, student assignments, and teacher schedules.

SOIN Admins: go to School Setup > School Parameters and look for the parameters to Show Academic Information to Parent/Students (Y/N) and Show Academic Informatino to Teachers (Y/N).

Parents, students and teachers will have limited access as shown below.

Here is what parents/students and teachers will see.

Google Apps for Education: Gmail and Spam

Schools-On-I-Net chose to integrate its online school management system with Google Apps for Education’s Gmail email product.  One of the main reasons why is that we liked Gmail because of its SPAM handling, user interface, and suite of collaborative tools.

Gmail has the highest customer satisfaction for free anti-spam filters.

Spam is an issue for any email system administrator.  Google Apps for Edu offers great spam filters. But there are some whose email boxes get more spam than others.  Some reasons why include:

• The email account or domain is posted on public webpages
• The email account is “guess-able” on a particular domain (like info@ or admin@…)
• The email account is submitted through online forms that may not be secure (Always look for a notation of security when using online forms like a lock at the bottom or an https which means that information is transfered in an encrypted format.)

SOIN works with Gmail or any email system you choose for your school. Our integration with Gmail provides some additional features, like managing users in one place, automatically updating user changes and sharing contact groups between SOIN and Gmail.

More email protection: SOIN Gateway; Postini

SOIN schools using Google Apps Gmail have an added layer of protection. SOIN applies our own custom filters to protect our users further.

Google Apps for Education is free for schools. For additional services, including more control on incoming and outgoing emails, archiving and domain level rules, Google offers Postini, a per user per year service add on.  http://www.google.com/postini
