SSCC's Google Apps for Education (GA4E) includes:

Gmail: 7+GB of email storage and search tools that help students find information fast and instant messaging from right inside their accounts.
Calendar: Students can organize their class schedules and share events and calendars with others.
Talk: Students can call or send instant messages to their contacts for free anytime, anywhere in the world.
Docs: Students can save homework files, share documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. Collaborate in real-time with teams or with your whole school.  Even publish final documents to the entire world, too.
Sites: Work together to keep related documents, web content and other information in one place, on one or more websites.
Video for education: A video hosting and sharing solution that enables schools and other organizations to use video as an effective medium for internal communication and collaboration ... and much more continues to be added weekly!

A history lesson: Way back, in the beginning of 2006, South Seattle 'early adopters' began investigating a myriad of online applications as another means of delivering education (in particular for face-2-face, hybrid and online classrooms) and to bring back 'student eMail accounts'.
