Gone Google!

Oakwood Junior School is one of only ten organisations worldwide - and the only one in the UK - which have won recognition from Google today for making the most of the Google Apps suite of programs.

We use Google Apps at Oakwood for email, calendaring, document storage, running our own intranet sites for staff and governors... and for running this blog!

We also use it to teach children about online safety, how to share documents with only specific people and how to use email sensibly.

Google provides these facilities free for educational establishments.

We don't get a prize, but we get a mention on the Google Apps blog and a free billboard twenty-four free billboards!



Tell us if you see them!

That's not the only one though. I had a shock coming up Hill Lane and going across the round-a-bout to Winchester Road to find one on the billboard next to the Idian restaurant :D

Another one is on the main road into Totton, just opposite the entrance to Lidl/Argos etc!

I left Oakwood school in 1995 and saw the bill boards and thought i would search it and found this!
Back when I was at Oakwood they had a few iold Acorns and a few old BBC's.
nice to see they are bang up to date with technology now!
