Google Apps for Education (GAFE) Tools
Why?
“Artifacts” created with GAFE Tools are able to be collaborated on, shared with others.
Shared to a variety of individuals: within a domain, with anyone with a shared link, or with anyone on the Internet.
“Artifacts” can easily be organized in Google Classroom which provides additional structure for use in education.
