Google does tend to have uncluttered web apps and you don’t need to worry about a pop up ad with something crass showing up so they get a little extra traction in education settings even though often there are literally no features and it looks like something made by the weakest student in a web applications class.

I guess the schools can add the Jam Boards to their piles of Chrome Books... It's a decision almost certainly born of motivations around revenue. What a shame when educators on the ground describe (like y'all just did) advantages to the tech even in the face of it's limitations.
