Google for Education adds new features for more visibility and control
Google is adding new features as part of Google for Education to provide more “visibility and control” to administrators and teachers.
The tech giant is launching new age-based access setting to make it easier for admins to tailor experiences for their users based on age when using Google services like YouTube, Photos and Maps. All admins from primary and secondary institutions will now be required to indicate which of their users, such as their teachers and staff, are 18 and older using organisational units or groups in Admin Console. After September 1, students who are under 18 will see changes in their experience across Google products.
For example, after September 1, students designated as under 18 in K-12 domains can view YouTube content assigned by teachers, but they won’t be able to post videos, comment or live stream using their school Google account
