Google Apps and G Suite

To make things a little bit easier to understand, the first thing you need to know is that Google Apps and G Suite are the same. Yes, they just changed the name to make it more "suitable" to what they have to offer and what they will continue developing for schools or companies.

According to Google, their mission is "to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful". To do that, they have a created a suite of tools to improve productivity, communication and collaboration online.

Some of the apps included for communication are Gmail, Hangouts, Calendar, and Google+; for collaboration, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, and Sites; for storage they have G Drive.

My favorite feature is the real-time collaboration in a document with other people. You can see edits as others type, make comments and chat at the same time as I experienced with my classmates during our class of Use of Technology for the Teaching of English, as part of our Masters Degree in Applied Linguistics program.

GSuite is also available for personal use. They offer different pricing options for all your needs. You can try it for free for 14 days and they have instructive guides to help you start. You can find more information here!
