What is Google for Education?

Google for Education goes beyond the classroom, offering a free suite of web-based tools like Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, and Drive that work seamlessly with popular learning management systems like Canvas, Google Classroom, and SeeSaw. This empowers teachers and students to collaborate across platforms, fostering teamwork through document creation, communication, and secure cloud storage.
