Hi,
That's Google's way of letting us use Jupyter Notebooks in the cloud and to share them on Google Drive.
I see where students would benefit, not that this is the first or only cloud-based environment. Another great tool.
Sorry to object, but no. Any tool that requires consent to Google's terms of use, or any other comparably bad terms of use, is NOT suitable for use in education. Telling students that agreeing with them is mandatory for learning is at least unethical and contradict fostering free and open education, and minors (i.e. users under the age of 18 or 16, or whatever the respective jurisdiction defines) are not legally capable of agreeing, so they are either talked into doing something illegal, or cannot take part in the learning. There might be other groups this applies to, independent of age. Please do NOT use such tools in education. Cheers, Nik
