New in Google Apps: Google Video for education

Google released video hosting for the Premier edition yesterday, I was curious if the Education Edition was going to get any love, lo and behold I received this email today:
Greetings admins!
Video hosting and management have historically been cost-prohibitive and a challenge for IT departments and large organizations. That’s why we’re especially excited to let you know that Google Video for education will be available to Google Apps Education Edition customers starting Monday, September 8th.
With Video, faculty and staff can upload and securely share videos with their student body from within the school’s domain (similar to how people share videos with the world on YouTube). Users who are whitelisted by the administrator can share videos with either select individuals or the entire domain in a matter of minutes. Here are some of the features you’ll find on Google Video for education:
- Whitelist for granting faculty and staff the ability to upload and share videos
- Community features: adding tags, comments and ratings
- Embed videos on web pages, including on Google Sites
- High quality video streaming
- 3GB of video storage per users account for the entire domain
Google Apps Education Edition customers can use Google Video for free for the next six months. Starting March 9th, 2009, Education Edition customers with Video activated will be charged $10 per user, per year. The six month trial is intended to help you and your management team decide if Video is right for your school.
Video will be turned off by default in all Education Edition accounts; you can activate this service from within the Google Apps control panel at anytime.
Once activated, users can get started with video at http://video.google.com/a/YOURDOMAIN.com.
