The Role of Google Apps for Education (GAFE)

Google Apps for Education (GAFE) is a powerful cloud-computing solution that works for
students regardless of their location, time or the type of device that is used. Many apps and e-
learning platforms are used by many academic institutions to design and deliver their courses
online.
Apps are computer programs which were created to process data to accomplish a particular
purpose. When an app is designed for pedagogical use, it tends to bridge the gap between
education and technology with the exclusive drive to advance teaching, research, learning, and
administration of schools. GAFE is described as an integrated suite of cloud-based solutions
which is driven by Google app engines and was designed to achieve specific educational goals.
Some of the apps that GAFE offers are:
Google Play Books app which was made to offer interactive content to enjoy reading while
allowing navigating with taps and finger zooms on smartphones and tablets. Google Docs
facilitate ease of collaboration with multiple editors so users make changes to the same
document in real time.
Regarding time management and scheduling of collaborations, users now have the ability to
add calendar entries directly from their Gmail accounts.

The GAFE suite comprises Gmail, Google

Drive, Google Groups, Google Calendar, Google
Docs, Google Sites, and Google+. Various
editions of the Google Apps suite are
developed with specific targets such as
administration, business, and education
