Here is a list of some of the tools that you can use with students when you have Google Edu Apps:

  • Take your classroom paperless, collaborate, and share easily with this one stop for all of your documents.
• Docs/Sheets/Slides
  • Easy to use word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation tools for classroom work and professional development.
• Google Sites
  • Build a personal website, a classroom site, or have students build project sites with no coding necessary
