16 Ideas for Student Projects using Google Docs, Slides, and Forms
As you probably know, Google Drive is far more than a place to store files online. It also includes a suite of versatile creation tools, many of which perform the same functions as the ones we use in other spaces. These include Google Docs, a word processing program that behaves similarly to Microsoft Word, Google Slides, a presentation program similar to PowerPoint, and Google Forms, a survey-creation tool similar to Survey Monkey. Although Drive also includes other tools, these three are particularly useful for creating rigorous, academically robust projects. If your school uses Google Classroom or at least gives students access to Google Drive, your students are probably already using these tools to write papers or create slideshow presentations, but there are other projects they could be doing that you may not have thought of.

The Magic Automatic Lesson Planner with Google Forms
You can use Google Forms to create a lesson planner that creates documents — automatically! — with all your plans in a format nicely designed by you!
Invest a bit of time now (I’m guessing +/- 30 minutes … just my best guess) and you’ll have a system that saves your lesson plans to your Drive that you can find easily later.
You’ll create a Google Form like this one (click here) where you’ll type up your lesson plans.
With the steps in this post, you’ll automatically create documents with all of your data like this (click here)!`
