Item # 4:	Google Apps Update
Presenter	Lara Niles
Discussion	Lara described to ongoing process of converting listserves to Google groups. She explained that this was a ''quiet move'' that did not require listserv subscribers to re-subscribe. She also stressed the need for more than 1 listserv owner for redundancy. Google + may be rolling out to Google Apps for Education. A review of usage may be needed in the future at ACAC. The g,austincc.edu and austincc.edu Google domains still need to be able to ''trust'' each other and enable connectivity. Lara Niles is testing Google Chrome Book as an accessibility tool for Marshall Levitt . If successful, the device may be implemented where needed. http://www.google.com/chromebook/
