As Campus Technology Reports, "G Suite for Education has been renamed. Starting today, it's known as Google Workspace for Education. There will be four editions available, one free, three paid." You can view the announcement on Google in this 99-minute video. (it might be available only to 'registered users'). Google also announced that Google Classroom "will soon enable teachers to add their favorite third-party edtech tools to a common folder so students can access multiple tools with a single log-in." You can read more in a series of articles on the Google Blog. My own experience with G Suite just generally is that it's driving users more and more into a single-institution experience; this is what facilitates a single sign-on, but also what forces people to have a Google sign on and 'be a member' of the institution.
