Docs is software that lets kids create and share documents online.

Drive - Online storage of documents and other files - this is integrated with Google Docs, Classroom, Sheets, Slides, Jamboard and other Google stuff.

Hangouts - Online chat for students - this may or may not be disabled. Talk to the school Google Admins to get it enabled.

GMail - Google's email service. 

Jamboard is Google's version of a whiteboard. Great for all subjects.

Google Meets - Like Zoom, but from Google and better.

Google Sheets - Google's spreadsheet software & answer to Apple Keynote and VisiCalc.

Google Translate lets you translate text to different languages

i-Ready®, online assessment and instruction that helps teachers provide all students a path to proficiency and growth in reading and mathematics.

ImagineLearning

Imagine Learning is ELA, Math and Language (español) software for the younger crowd (I think K-3)

ELA programs

Libby by Overdrive

MyChart - by Epic

Microsoft Office Apps

Microsoft Excel

Microsoft PowerPoint

Microsoft Word - Microsoft Word is in listed, but my students tell me it is on their NYC DoE-issued iPad

OneDrive is like Google Drive - lets you share files between people in the same team (including students - the classroom is a team, as well).

OneNote is a shared Doc. It can be used as a notebook for kids

Teams enables people to collaborate more effectively. The user interface, IMHO, is not kids friendly.

Translater -  translates spoken text into different languages on an iPad

Whiteboard - similar to Jambaord

Minecraft Education Edition

Minecraft lets kids make their own world. Excellent learning tool.

My Chart - By Epic

I don't get this one. Epic is medical software - maybe it is used so families and kids can see their test results from medical clinics based in schools.

Useful Apps on TeachHub

There are other apps on TeachHub,  but these seem to be the ones that will be potentially useful to me and my students

Teachers need to go to Teach Hub

DOE All Stars - Teacher appreciation page

Brooklyn, Queens and NY Public Libraries, Destiny Discover, Sora - These apps have many different books for kids (and adults)

Ed Tech and Remote Learning - this site has the different PD offerings for teachers

FlipGrid - This app lets your students create videos to show what they are learning. They can record their faces, something else or their screen

Google Drive - This site has nothing on it yet. I assume this is going to be a Google Drive with info more different grade level and subject teachers.

Lucidchart - This site lets you create charts and flow charts

WonderamaTV - This site has show videos on different subjects (including SEL, Cooking and STEM) with worksheets. This seems to be geared to elementary students.
