"The June paper said cloud technologies mitigated many of the risks, but exponentially increased the number of software applications schools were using and created other problems.

'The increasing use of data-driven learning insights and adaptive learning applications is vastly increasing the amount of student data being held in such systems, and many hold data offshore, not necessarily subject to NZ jurisdictional protections'."

@strypey but apparently ramming Chromebooks down children's necks and shoving everything they do into Google is totally fine and not subject to the same risks at all. I'd love to know what generic cloud-hosted crappily adapted poorly specced SAP-based CMS clusterfuck they'd replace local SMS vendor offerings with.

People use google as they are unaware of alternatives or are so tried in to google it is hard to leave.

I am trying to download documents for a coding contest, rather long winded, on next cloud I can share a folder and you can just download ALL of the contents.

The contest organisers in their wisdom created a google doc, with links to other documents that all need to be downloaded, very frustrating when I am used to a better way of doing things.
