Tools & Technologies

Google Workspace for Education is a suite of free productivity tools for classroom collaboration.  Since Simmons is a Google school,  your Simmons email address gives you access to an extensive range of Google tools that you can share with individual people, all of the Simmons community, or anyone on the internet. The Instructional Design team uses shared Google Drive folders to organize your course materials and collaborate with you on your projects. We highly encourage you to familiarize yourself with the Google Workspace tools and experiment with different ways to offer content to your students.
