This document provides an overview of Google Apps for Education (GAFE) and how it can be used for paperless workflows and assessments in the classroom. It encourages teachers to try using Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, and Drive to collaborate, share files, and collect and grade student assignments digitally. Specific suggestions are given around using Google Classroom, shared folders, and forms to distribute, submit, and provide feedback on assignments without paper. The document concludes by asking teachers to provide examples of how they plan to use these paperless GAFE tools in their own classrooms.
