If you're reading this you probably go to college, can't wait to get to college, or desperately wish you were still in college. You're in the right place. Some of us on the Apps for Education team are in the "still wish we were in college" camp and have decided to take a cross-country road trip to prove that we still got it.

Okay... so the App to School tour isn't actually about pretending we're still in college. But we're excited that starting today we'll be hitting the road to visit a few of the thousands of schools that have deployed Google Apps. What does it mean for a school to use Google Apps on campus? It means that the entire campus community -- students, faculty, and staff -- can work together more easily using Google's email, calendar, and collaboration tools. At Google, we use Apps to run our business -- which we like to call "eating our own dogfood" -- and we're always eager to learn more about how students like you are using these products on and off campus. We figured that there's no better way to do this then by riding our eco-friendly bus across the US equipped with demos, Rock Band, and free goodies in tow. We invite you to come over and check out the bus and learn more about what Google Apps has to offer.

We'll be posting to this blog often with updates from the road, and you can check out more information (including photos and videos) about our trip here.

We look forward to seeing many of you on the bus, but until then enjoy the ride.
