question. Granted, apps used in Google are backed up on Google servers, bu=
t what about the school database, the library collection, etc., all the oth=
er critical data at the school site that is never going to be on Google.
I also find Google to be difficult to use with very young students. It is =
so much easier for them to open up a pre-formatted Word document in K-2, th=
en to have to log in to a Google Apps account.
