Google Workspace for Education (GWFE)

Welcome to Glin National College's Google Workspace for Education resource hub! Google created these tools to make online learning more accessible for learners and tutors. With apps like Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Forms, you can collaborate on documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and surveys online. And because it works with Google Classroom, tutors can easily manage assignments and see how learners are doing.
