Google Suite Apps
Google Docs
Force Users to Make a Copy of a Google Doc
* This may be helpful when sharing assignments that students will need to compose responses to (think open-ended response or free writing questions); this prevents you from getting email notifications that “request editing access”; the moment someone clicks the link, it will auto-generate a copy.
Use Google Docs for interactive class discussions
* This would be an alternative for those not using synchronous sessions. It could also be a decent companion to synchronous sessions if someone cannot attend the sessions.

Google Meet "Breakout Rooms"
If you want to be able to monitor these breakout meetings at the same time, download the "Mute Tab" extension. This will make sure you don't hear all the meetings at the same time): Mute Tab Extension

Google Jamboard
Jamboard
You can use Google Jamboard to create an interactive whiteboard with your students. Jamboard has a number of drawing tools within it and works well for collaborative note taking sessions. You can save your Jamboard notes to a PDF in Google Drive to share with students. See this Quickstart Guide from the McGraw Center for Teaching and Learning to get started or contact Julie Perino for more help.
Google Slides
Using Google Slides or Jamboard to make Charts & Graphs
You can use Google Slides or Jamboard to draw basic charts or graphs should you need to demonstrate how data would be represented without plotting data points on a line. This might be helpful in responding to a question during an online test when you would have otherwise hand-drawn such a response in a f2f class setting.
