Google for Education: Solutions built for teachers and students

Education has been showing its dynamics in recent years. More and more interactive activities came up to the arena, which makes it possible to accelerate the preparation process for teachers. What is more, the student learning abilities are considered as well. Now, they are able to choose the most suitable activities for effective learning and fast memorizing. Therefore, Google is doing an excellent job by providing the academic community with decent tools for catalyzing their development.

Among the categories we would like to present in this article, you will find various types of products created both by Google (Google Scholar) and other partnering companies (StudyMoose plagiarism checker). Most of those are free; however, you will have to give out some of your private data. Therefore, we are encouraging you to read the policies regarding personal information on every website before starting to work with it.

1. Google for education

For the reason that education is a complex phenomenon requiring various coordinated services to function together, Google adjusted its core educational platform called Google for education. Apart from its convenient interface, it also includes the following systems: Gmail, Hangouts, Google Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Groups, News, Play, Sites, and Vault.

Together with these, it’s possible to establish any type of stable educational process between teachers and students. Both of them will have access to the necessary files, deadlines, task lists, and even additional materials. What is more, after experiencing this complex approach once, you could later use it for other courses (if you are a student) and other student groups (if you are a teacher).

Finally, the most outstanding advantage of Google for education is that it allows organizing a standard educational process regardless of the budget you have. Thus, you shouldn’t take care of bureaucracy, bank loans, and transportation. Technologies did everything for you.

2. Online courses

At some point, everyone enrolled in the free courses on Coursera, Open University, or EdX. However, have you ever finished those? The specialists who design online courses (professors, editors, cameramen, scriptwriters, and designers) put a great deal of effort to present this type of educational product. Be sure: if some trustworthy platforms like Harvard University release an online course, it’s worth watching. Most of them are focused on a narrow topic, which makes you dive deeper in the field you chose. At last, all the exercises and tests designed for studying blocks are relevant to the course, which increases your chances to get a perfect score

3. Tools for working with texts

Most of the educational establishments enforce writing as the best tool for analyzing the materials learned and conducting research as well. Whereas some students try to avoid cheating and spend 5-6 hours on writing essays, the others order their papers on the websites dedicated to academic assistance. This list of tools will be useful for both groups:

• Grammarly checks your grammar and punctuation mistakes;
• Thesaurus offers you the synonyms and antonyms for particular words;
• StudyMoose checker shows you the rate of plagiarism and points out the exact sources;
• Google Scholar is a perfect e-library for finding the necessary academic sources;
• CiteThisForMe is a free tool for citing your materials in whatever format you need.

To sum up, technologies do invest in our educational process. Even though choosing your perfect set might demand some time, it will certainly pay you off in the future. Don’t be afraid to come to the digitalized side – we have cookies.
