Google Drive provides free online storage and collaboration tools that teachers can use for lesson planning, sharing resources, and classroom activities. Key features include 15GB of storage, real-time collaboration, offline access, and compatibility with other Google apps and third-party educational tools. Teachers can use Docs for shared lesson plans and disseminating information, Forms for collecting student or teacher feedback, and Sheets for tracking resources, aggregating results from forms, and creating interactive games and progress bars for students. Google Drive allows paper-based resources and workflows to be digitized for easier access and collaboration.
