Hmmm. If they publicly promote their services to secondary schools, I'd guess there is an implied exception to their own terms and conditions.<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 15 June 2010 17:49, Mike Brookes <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mikebr@tpg.com.au">mikebr@tpg.com.au</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Hi people,<br>
How do you get round the legal issues of using Google Docs with
students under 18? - section 2.3 below<br>
Or haven't people read the terms and conditions?<br>

<p><b>2. Accepting the Terms</b></p>
<blockquote>
<p>2.1 In order to use the Services, you must first agree to the
Terms. You may not use the Services if you do not accept the Terms.</p>
<p>2.2 You can accept the Terms by:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>(A) clicking to accept or agree to the Terms, where this option
is made available to you by Google in the user interface for any
Service; or</p>
<p>(B) by actually using the Services. In this case, you understand
and agree that Google will treat your use of the Services as acceptance
of the Terms from that point onwards.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>2.3 You may not use the Services and may not accept the Terms if
(a) you are not of legal age to form a binding contract with Google, or
(b) you are a person barred from receiving the Services under the laws
of the United States or other countries including the country in which
you are resident or from which you use the Services.</p>
<p>2.4 Before you continue, you should print off or save a local copy
of the Universal Terms for your records.</p>

the chat function to swap links and dictate who is working on what

<br>
A GoogleDocs update has improved the update speed. Happens much faster
now although if a group is well organised, they just split the task up
between themselves. We did the same when we used this to build virtual
websites.<br>
