We had a tweet from Joan Badger, co-presenter of the Smartboard Lessons Podcast.  Joan’s question was “I love Page Creator! Any chance on getting a table feature? (also, I’d like to work for Google! lol)”

Google replied:

Great! We love Page Creator too and we’re glad you’re such a fan – we’ll let the Page Creator team know about your request.

Carolyn Foote is a librarian at Westlake High School in Austin, Texas  She used Twitter to pass her question to the EdTechRoundUp team.  

“Why are Google Apps for students over 17/18 as per the sign up agreement–many useful features for younger students?” - Carolyn Foote

 

Google replied: 

Students of any age can have access to Google Apps, it is at the discretion of the school who they want to allow to use these services.

DK from Mediasnackers got in touch with us through Twitter. He suggested we ask Google the following;

“Why focus just on education, surely these online tools can be used in the charitable, youth-work, voluntary sectors?”

Google replied:Great point - this is a view we share too! That’s why there are three versions of Google Apps - Standard Edition (free for all businesses and organisations), Premier Edition (£25 per month with support and more email storage) and Apps for Education (all the advantages of Premier Edition for free to the academic sector). As mentioned, Apps Standard Edition is free and this is an excellent tool for charities and the voluntary sector to supply essential communication tools such as email, calendar and documents to organisations that otherwise might not be able to afford it.
