There will no doubt be a flurry of articles from the usual sources talking about how Google's Stadia service may be used in education. To be sure, there's something there - the idea of Stadia is that you can play a game in basically the same way you watch a YouTube video. The game is streaming, live, can be multiplayer, and interactive. So there will no doubt be educational applications - quests, simulations, collaborative co-creation, more. Don't worry about being first out of the gate - it's going to take years for the ecosystem to settle in, for the required bandwidth to be more widely available (25 mbps), and for game (and educational application) development to ramp up.
