We’ve just added two new “How To” guides for K-12 schools using Google Apps for education. These are short guides that show Google Apps for K-12 Administrators how to effectively monitor and take action on student data in Google Docs, Drive, and Sites.
How To Effectively Monitor Student Documents in Google Docs, Sites, and Google Drive
Google Apps for Education Administrators need the ability to gain “view” access to student documents in a non-disruptive way. Currently, the administrator must change the student’s password and log in as that student. This approach is manual and time consuming, and results in multiple password changes for each incident.
I was just editing a Google Doc, and saw a sidebar I’ve never seen before. Found under Tools > Research, Google has just launched a research tool, which lets you search, insert images, quotes, maps, links, and citations from within a Google Doc.
And while this may seem like a convenience that only saves a few clicks, this new feature is huge for:
Students at schools using Google Apps that need to write papers
Companies that use Google Docs heavily, and are constantly adding images and links to Docs
Anyone that wants to include a Google Map in a Document.

When talking with companies looking to move to the cloud for collaboration, they often tell us that they are considering multiple solutions. Though there are many products/services that allow customers to share and synchronize files, none provide the DLP and enterprise-class security features found in the combination of Google Apps and CloudLock.
