[Year 12 IT Apps] RE:Google tools

[Bill Oldham]

Thanks, Anne.

I was not aware of the minimum 18 year old age requirement.

I guess I will confine it to my class where the students are all over 18
years old.

Thanks for the heads up.

Regards, Bill Oldham (sessional teacher at Chisholm TAFE and VU)

I love your idea Bill, and use google substantially. If you set up an
igoogle page, most of these tools can be accessed quickly, so add in 
reader, notebook, todo etc as well.
However, do students have to be 18 years of age to use all this. I am not
certain but thought I read somewhere that was the case.
