Hi Jill, I’m sorry but this isnt a comment related to this blog entry, but rather a thank you for highlighting the need for a debate regarding the use of Google services in our (Norwegian) childrens schools (as mentioned in https://www.bt.no/nyheter/lokalt/i/1k9bpW/Professor-advarer-mot-Google-i-skolen). Based on my personal circumstances I can say it is needed!!

Thanks, M!
