This.
I think that it's genius and at the same time frightening at just how well Google has done in the education market, especially how well they've done at getting children to equate the internet with all things Google. Kids (at least the ones at the daughter's school) have no idea what email is. They only know Gmail. They don't know that there is any other search engine besides Google. They don't know that there are any other office suites besides Google Docs. They go to Youtube for everything. Which is easy when Google searches for things will show you a Google property before anything else.
The kids are living in a totally Google world at school since the school district went Google. They barely know anything else. And Google loves it that way.
