I can see where some schools might want to take advantage of Google Documents as its exclusive productivity package. After all, it does the basics well, and the cost is right (especially for Lutheran schools!). My biggest concern is the login process. What I would love to see is educators have the opportunity to create and control logins for their students. That would give us a level of necessary control we find within school and also give us the flexibility to implement these features for student learning.
Under the current registration process, we would need parent approval. Then, if a student forgets a password, we would have no way to help them get logged in at school. In addition, because a Google account is so closely tied to other features, such a Gmail and chat, it would be difficult to properly monitor student work without greater access.
So that's what I'd like to see Google. Can you make it happen?
