Google Education Programs and Apps and how they support educators
Google Apps for Education (GAFE)

With GAFE, students have access to apps like Google Docs, Google Calendar, Google Sites, and more than 50 other tools for their academics.
Teachers can use GAFE to create and manage assignments and class schedules, assign grades, and communicate with other faculty members.
And, with G Suite for Education, schools can manage the services their students use and set policies for their use.
GAFE is used by over 50 million students and teachers in 180 countries.
Classroom
Classroom is a central hub to help educators transform their classrooms into digital learning environments. It’s a place for teachers to post content, assign and collect assignments, communicate with students, and collaborate with other teachers.
Classroom also helps students stay organized by creating a digital portfolio where they can store their work and turn in assignments.
Teachers can also give feedback and provide timely responses to students’ work.
