Voice Comments
For use within Google Drive documents, you can now record audio comments and share them with other users. Teachers can record comments to share with students regarding their work, students can share audio comments for peer reviews, and in the professional development arena, teachers can collaborate on documents with an more in depth explanation when necessary.
Moderator
Google Moderator allows users to create a meaningful conversation from many different people’s questions, ideas, and suggestions. A user can ask a series of questions (specific or open ended) and allow other users (anyone) to respond to the questions.
Image Directory
Google’s Image search is awesome. If you’re looking for a picture, piece of art, or something else similar to something you see, you can upload/take a photo and search via that, rather than typing in a silly description “photo of a girl playing in grass”. This is exceptional for when you’re looking for something really specific that you don’t know the name of, or you’d have to make a really long-winded description with words to find it
Research Tool
Research tool is a function designed to make it easy to add information from the web to your documents and presentations (in Drive). Basically, it adds a search bar into the si debar of your document, and you can use it to search the web for specific types of information related to what you’re working on. It even offers suggestions based on what you’re writing about (or you can perform your own search, too). A great resource for students writing papers.
Forms
Google Forms allows users to create surveys. Whether your students are doing research projects or you’re polling the students in your class for assessment, as a collective brainstorming tool or just for fun, it is simple to use and allows easy export of your data to spreadsheets for your analyzing and calculating pleasure
