Google Workspace for Education Fundamentals

A for teaching and learning

Education Fundamentals is a suite of secure and easy-to-use tools — provided at no cost — that help improve collaboration, productivity, and class management.

Foster collaboration across your education community

Make it easy for everyone in your education community to collaborate, communicate, and participate in real time.

Write, edit, and collaborate in real time, add new collaborators, and see changes as they happen in Docs, Sheets, and Slides.

Teach and learn from anywhere using reliable and secure video conferencing with up to 100 participants and easily communicate with students via built-in chat.

Personalize settings for every student, provide live captions, and use Screen Reader, braille readers, and screen magnification.

Promote productivity with time-saving tools

Save time with easy-to-use tools that automate and simplify tasks.

Create and organize classwork, grade tests, and build permission slips, polls and more with Classroom, Assignments, and Forms.

Use built-in rubrics and comment alongside student work to provide feedback that students can easily find and action on.

Automatically save progress in documents, organize files, and alert guardians on activities, deadlines, or missing work.

Strengthen digital safety with privacy and security tools

Use one of the world’s most secure cloud-based communication and productivity suites.

Help keep your institution safe with data practices that support compliance with FERPA, COPPA, GDPR, and more. You retain full intellectual property rights over your data, and Core Services, like Gmail, Calendar, and Classroom, have no ads.

Send secure emails with Gmail, which uses AI-powered protections to block more than 99.9% of spam, phishing and malware from ever reaching you. Safeguard sensitive data in Gmail and Drive with automated data loss prevention (DLP).

Rely on 100 TB of pooled cloud storage, protected in Drive, and retain user data for compliance and discovery in Vault.
