Security and protection from lawsuits are two of the most common concerns that Learning Providers have regarding student use of cloud-based web services.

I've heard from more than one manager, practitioner etc., "We can't use Google because then we can't archive email." and "Google will steal data"; both of those statements are false.

Google has published a short whitepaper designed to address the security concerns of learning providers. The next time you are questioned about the safety of Google Apps for Education, you may wish to refer to this whitepaper. It does not provide every answer, but it is appropriate for addressing the "email archiving" and "data stealing" concerns.
