Google Workspace for Education - 2021 Updates

Google has some exciting new updates coming out in the next few months that I wanted to make sure that you knew about!  The first big change is that Google Suite for Education will now be called Google Workspace for Education which mirrors their move from Google to Google Workspace for their business and private accounts as well.  Many of these changes are being rolled out over the next few weeks so don't be surprised if new features start popping up in your Google Classroom or your Google Meet between now and spring break. A small handful of these updates will only be available on paid accounts which our district does not have and Google is changing their pricing structure so that more accounts have to be paid but we will jump that hurdle later this spring when we get to it!  In the meantime, enjoy the ability to save progress in a Google Form, the ability to use bold and italic type font in Google Classroom, and the ability to "mute all" in Google Meets, just to name a few!!
