If this Apps for Education platform is targeted at children, are many unable to consent to terms perhaps?

  also (1) children in school may have no choice but to agree, and (2) just because you agree to something in a contract doesn't necessarily mean it's enforceable. For example there are some rights you can't sign away in a contract.

    Quoting from the article: "Apps for Education is used by K-12 schools and institutions of higher education throughout the world..." Go to the Apps for Education page at Google, select "Customers", choose "K12" and it lists 10 primary and secondary education school systems as profiled "customer stories". For example, "Saline Area Schools is a suburban/rural public school district of 5,450 students K-12 located in southeast Michigan, about 50 miles west of Detroit." ... "Encouraged by the success with faculty and staff, the Saline IT team will soon roll Google Apps out to their 3,200 students in grades 5-12." https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B5AOHQcS-cAeODQ3MGVkNGEtNzJmNS00MTE5LTliZmEtZjNiZGRmODZiM2Fm/edit?pli=1 https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B5AOHQcS-cAeODQ3MGVkNGEtNzJm...

      This is the full list of places where they're used: http://www.google.com/enterprise/apps/education/customers.html http://www.google.com/enterprise/apps/education/customers.ht... Most are universities.

        That is "not the full list". That is a list of "customer stories", and certainly a subset of the full list. In fact, it's the site I suggested you visit. Next, use the pull-down under "all types" to see that the three targets are "K12", "Organization", and "University".
