Google Sites → Sites is Google's website creator. I know people aren't super thrilled with the *New* Google Sites, but I think it's a great place for new creators to get their feet wet. It also forces the veteran website creator to think about what they are including on the site.
Google Docs → A powerful online word processor allowing for creating documents which can be worked on collaboratively. You can add links to create an interactive document. To really make an amazing Doc, check out Hyperdocs, too!
Hyperdocs → Google Doc + visually engaging learning experiences = Hyperdocs! Lisa Highfill, Kelly Hilton, & Sarah Landis are very creative and provide a power-packed punch with their Hyperdocs idea. You CAN do this, too!

Give digital assessments or even assignments? Forms is your answer! With over 10 answer "types" available, you are sure to find what will work for you.
Google Sheets → As the Google guru Alice Keeler says, "The answer is always a spreadsheet." Sheets allows for the collection & organization of data. Sheets allows you to visualize the data you collect. And when you are ready to go beyond the basics, conditional formatting, pivot tables, and formulas will enhance your sheet even more.
