GSuiteEDU Resources to Support Productivity and Efficient Workflow

"Modern technology has become a total phenomenon for civilization, the defining force of a new social order in which efficiency is no longer an option but a necessity imposed on all human activity." - Jacques Ellul

Teachers can't use yesterday's pedagogy combined with today's technology to effectively teach and learn. Educators must grow and adapt to meet the needs of all learners in a digital world. Teachers need to become more than the source of information the best educators are facilitators of learning. 
Technology is a tool that can help enhance, personalize, and differentiate education for all learners. Today's technology provides teachers and students with unprecedented access to a world of resources and ideas. Technology should be used to inspire life-long learners in student-centered classrooms.
There are many incredible Chrome Extensions, Google Apps, and Drive Add-ons that can help teachers and students save time.
