Create, Communicate and Collaborate! Learn about and create useful examples of GSuite (formally GAFE) tools for education. Used by thousands of educators around the globe, Google’s free to veryone and easily accessed 11 GSuite tools include Drive, Calendar, Gmail, Classroom, Calendar, Sites, Blogger, Maps, Keep and Hangouts apps. These apps are readily available through your school’s GSuite account or through your own personal Google account.

Create classroom documents of your choice to use with your students. GSuite apps work on any internet accessible device. All work is stored on the cloud for easy access at any time.

If available, use your gmail school account but to keep items separate I recommend using a personal Gmail account and set up a course Drive folder. No textbooks is needed.
