Policy change for Google +

TechCrunch reports that Google + will now be available to anyone eligible for an account – anyone 13 and over. Google has added some new features which are age dependent. It reminds teens when they are posting to “public” and automatically removes them from a video hangout when an adult enters. This sounds like a nice feature but it would also limit tool value in an educational setting. Google could certainly modify this feature if Google + was used as part of Apps for Education.

We have created Google + tutorials for educators.
