Dear Lori and Karen
Please make sure that you examine the T&C of the sites so your staff know the
rights they are
signing over to the service and whether they have the authority to do this.
Many state that you have to sign the copyright over to them (some demand moral
rights as well but
that's illegal and another issue) and in Australia, at least, only the parent or
guardian of an
under-18 has the right to do that. Google Docs, particularly, wants to own
everything and have the
right to distribute it.
Some services have lower age limits and specifically state that you cannot use them
if the users are
not of an age to enter into this sort of contract.
