What is Google Workspace for Education?
Google Workspace for Education (aka Google Apps for Education, aka G Suite for Education) is a suite of tools for collaborative file editing, sharing, and storage. Apps can also be used for independent work. There are apps for mobile devices or the apps can be used in the browser. For examples of how to use these tools in courses, review Google Apps That RIT Has Activated.
