I recently came across this item about Google taking a seat on the Board of Directors along with a $40M position in Renaissance Learning. http://goo.gl/4i6Evd
This paragraph jumped out at me as significant- Renaissance Learning now hosts data for more than 38,000 schools and reading records for almost 11 million U.S. students. In total, 18 million students now use the company’s cloud-based Renaissance Place platform. Together with the 30 million students and teachers on Google’s platform, Lynch told me, that’s a “really big reach into K-12.” The company says it saw a 20 percent increase in its top-line growth in 2013 and double-digit growth in the year before.
While pondered it, I thought to look at Google's Mission Statement- Google’s mission is to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.
Wow!
Just Sayin'.
