For tutorials on each app, click the app name link at the start of each row.

AppUse Case

Docs

Document creation tool. Can use it for individual projects such journals, blogs, and assignments; collaborative writing and editing during group projects; and creating student-generated class support resources (e.g. glossaries, study guides). Facilitates peer review through commenting features.

Drawing

Diagramming tool. Can use it to create timelines, flowcharts, hierarchical visual tables, and bar/line/pie charts. 

Forms

Survey tool. Can use it to collect peer reviews, survey students on availability and preferences, and collect course feedback. If a project requires students collecting information from others, students can create and share surveys. Instructors can also use the myCourses Survey tool or Qualtrics to create surveys.

Jamboard

Digital whiteboard tool. Can use it for solving math, geometry, or graphing problems; concept mapping and visual note taking; group project brainstorming; and facilitating presentations and digital storytelling. Can also be edited asynchronously over time. Note RIT does not have the physical boards, RIT has only the browser/mobile apps.  Instructors can also use Zoom Whiteboard (can be used outside of Zoom too).

Sheets

Spreadsheet tool. Can use it for shared data collection and analysis.

Slides

Slidedeck tool. Can use it for individual and group presentations, and media-rich project documents.

Drive

The place where your Google files are stored. There are two areas: My Drive and Shared Drives.

  • My Drive: Best for storing and organizing individual files, or for times when just certain files need to be shared with certain people. The document or folder owner controls the permissions. More information about My Drive.

  • Shared Drives: Best for collaborative workspaces where everyone in the workspace needs access to all documents (though permissions levels can be different between people). There is no one "owner" of the files, but anyone with the Manager setting can add users to the Shared Drive. More information about Shared Drives.

Keep

Note-taking tool. Accessed within Drive, Docs, Sheets, or Slides, as well as the separate Keep app. Can use it for individual or group project tracking, to-do list reminders, note-taking, and brainstorming. Keep items can be shared with others, turned into a Google Doc, or dragged into a Google Doc.

Tasks
