Let's talk about Google services




The most important thing in the work of any Google application is collaboration. Google Docs and Google Sheets allow real-time tracking of any changes made to the document, which is super-useful, leave notes, corrections, use the built-in chat. An ideal tool for group work on text and work on bugs. A teacher is able to track changes made to a document by each of the participants using the Revision History function.
Google forms
Using Google Forms is very easy to create questionnaires, quizzes, questionnaires. Ideal for homework and self-study in class. You don't need to install any special tools just go to Google and use it! 
Google slides
I've mentioned this app in my previous post, but as they say "practice makes perfect". And this app really deserves to be mention even twice. Google Slides is a web version of Power Point with the same set of basic tools for creating presentations (just to refresh😀).  Nowadays presentations are used everywhere as they give us an opportunity to present information by sight which, in its turn, makes the information we want to communicate easier to understand and remember. I can't even imagine lectures at universities without presentations! 
Some other resources to use

Polls on Twitter allow you to answer questions posed by other Twitter users. In addition, you can create your own ones. Current results will be shown immediately. Which is an unprecedented advantage! The same you can do on Vkontakte. Of course, all the participants of your polls should sign up if they haven't done it before.
Also, all our social media help us to create different communities in which teachers, for instance, can send their students not only their hometasks, but also help students quicker if there is a need. Furthermore, I can say that I personally send different posts in English to everyone who knows english and can trully appreciate them (different humorous pictures, useful articles and so on). Teacher can do the same (secretely trying to encourage their students to learn english willingly ). Let's show students/children that teachers are also in the picture today!😛 See you!
