Best latest Google Ed updated

Google Classroom can call itself a polished classroom communication platform, but it obviously extends well beyond that with its full suite of other apps for education. The latest updates of which I am especially positive about.

1). Ask a question in Google Classroom. This allows teachers to mark homework that is completed online as a response to a question post. Furthermore, for those educators who like to 'flip' their classroom it provides a great platform of quickly checking who has responded to the online video or reading that you may have set. 
2) Google Forms. I like to get feedback from students after assessment tasks. This feedback is easy with Google Forms because I can just copy my main questionnaire as it is a set of standard reflective questions for students, not one or two topic specific questions. Doing this on paper and then making a copy of each for myself and storing in a Manila folder seems like years ago. With Forms latest update you can now see individuals responses without having all the peers responses together in a spreadsheet. This makes it particularly useful for using a student reflection survey with parent teacher info nights and a range of other educational uses.

Still an avid Google user with these popular updates!
