Summary

Google offers a suite of cloud-based apps, including G Suite for Education, that can help K-12 teachers automate some of their less engaging responsibilities and save time. Google Forms can be used to automatically grade tests and quizzes, while Google Sheets can calculate grades and gather important insights. Google Docs can help with grading papers more efficiently, suggesting copy edits, leaving comments, and reviewing previous drafts. Google Slides makes it easier to build presentations quickly using predesigned templates or the Explore function. Additionally, Zapier's automations for Google apps can further streamline tasks such as sending emails after quiz submissions or automatically copying files to school storage. By leveraging these tools, teachers can free up more time to focus on teaching and mentoring their students.
