Google for Education is a group of digital tools designed by Google that all work together (with Google Drive at the very core). By using cloud-based technology, these tools host and distribute digital documents, facilitate communication, and enhance collaboration. Google is taking the educational world by storm, because of its lower cost, wider acceptance, and 'app ecology.'
