Google Drive includes a variety of productivity tools, including Docs, Slides, Sheets, Forms and Drawing. Similar to Microsoft tools, except that they are free and everything is stored on the web. By using these tools, kids can access their work from any computer, so no more “I left my homework at school”. Group projects are also simplified with Google Drive as partners can work together on a document, while each being at their own house.

Does your tween/teen like to write? Storybird provides artist images as inspiration that they can then use to write stories or poems. Once a story is done, they can digitally publish it and share their work with friends and family.
Teens can create digital posters that incorporate videos, images, text and links to other web pages. With a wide variety of options to encourage their creativity, this is a great alternative to the traditional PowerPoint presentation!
