I’m not advocating Microsoft at all but…

This is worth a watch, it’s only short so don’t be scared now.

Of course the Google fan boi/girls will hate this but hopefully teachers can take note about the concerns raised..

  1. While I would probably be what you consider to be a Google Fan girl 🙂 I do think this video does throw up the main issue that all schools need to consider which is that you need to have a ROBUST internet connection to use Google Apps effectively. 
    And actually, Google Apps is not suitable for either every school or every situation. For example, while I use Google Docs a great deal I still use Excel for some things and indeed keynote and pages for others. For schools, it’s about making well-informed decisions based on what works best for you, your school or organisation.

  2. I don’t think that’s the main issue at all.  The main issue is that you are putting all of your resources/data into a piece of software that could change under your feet at any time.  This could leave you unable to teach the curriculum and possibly without your data.
