Three Wishes for G Suite (for Education)

As I sit here at Google getting an update on their awesome Google for Education tools, I have a few features on my wish list:

  1. Auto Play Embedded Videos in Google Slides – I don’t think I need to explain this one.
  2. YouTube Red for Education – AdFree Youtube, duh!
  3. Create a real Groups platform – We need a robust Group Collaboration platform, think hybrid Sites & Groups. Or better yet, make Google+ more usable for group/enterprise collaboration with support for under 13 year olds and walled garden collaboration in school.

And for a personal one: Please solve the email black hole when it comes to project and task management. Bring the power of the big blue Share button to gmail – Sharable Gmail Labels or a way to send Email to a Google Doc to be shared as an action item.

What would you wish for?

    Great list! I have been asking for Google Classroom to let me choose what calendar is used with their product. I already have a calendar for all of my classes and I do not need a calendar just for one class.

    Ad Block Plus extension is pretty great for blocking ads on youtube.

    How about text boxes in google docs. Yes you can use them in drawings that can be inserted in docs, but having a text box feature would be awesome.
