2. Show a new project to the class with Google Slides

In the event that your school works on projects, Google Presentations will be very useful.

You can also add comments and tasks to make it easier to make changes.

 

3. Create a web page with Google Sites

If you're new to Google Sites , it's one of the apps that comes with G Suite for Education .
