What is GSuite for Education?

"GSuite for Education is a core suite of productivity applications that Google offers to schools and educational institutions for FREE. These communication and collaboration apps include Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs and Sites, and a GSuite account unlocks access to dozens of other collaborative tools supported by Google. All of these applications exists completely online (or in the cloud), meaning that all creations can be accessed from any device with an Internet connection. Once a school decides to embrace GSuite for Education, they can register their school domain (web address), and administer all teacher and student accounts from an administrative dashboard."
