What EdintheClouds customers think:
"In the current climate of budget-cutting the Google Apps approach to a learning platform seemed an obvious move. What we didn't realise is how it also outperforms a number of similar platforms in easy of use and number of resources available for free. Working with Mark we quickly put together a home page for the school, followed by the learning platforms for the children, teachers and governors.
The children can now not stop using our new learning platform and the ICT skills have improved 10 fold over the last 6 months through their constant use at home and in school."

"Mark Allen from EdintheClouds has been instrumental in setting up and supporting our implementation of Google Apps for our new school website and Cavell Cloud (our version of the VLE). Once shown the basics by Mark, Google Apps was very easy to edit and make a good-looking and functional website and VLE. We have gone for a slimmed-down 'public' website which is very easy to keep updated using Google Sites and have spent more time and energy on the 'school population' Cavell Cloud (VLE), which we are about to launch for children and parents. Even our less IT experienced staff found it easy to understand and intuitive to use AND one of the best things about it is that it is absolutely FREE, which with tight school budgets is the 'icing on the cake' Mark, said he would enable himself to be redundant (or at least at the end of the phone or email) after a couple of visits and he was right - it really has been that easy to use..."

"The beauty of using our Google Apps Cloud is that it is intuitive and so easy to use. Mark Allen, from EdintheClouds, helped us set up our ‘cloud’ which keeps emails, documents, calendar and blogspace in one easy-to-use area. In the space of a few months we have already improved our communication; sharing documents, messages and calendar appointments. Because it is Google-based it is easy to use and it is so easy to run that we have someone with little previous experience overseeing the management of our cloud. Mark Allen is also always on hand for friendly advice too! Perhaps most importantly of all in these difficult financial times is it is so low-cost. After a small set fee to help us set it up there are no yearly costs. Not only is it easy to use – it is low cost too!"
