Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, We have seen many schools switching to online classes due to quarantine and lockdown. There are many tools nowadays to enable easy remote learning but for most schools especially in developing countries these tools can be expensive since most of them need specialized skills and technical support that might not be budgeted for especially during such an emergency.

Google has created various tools that when combined, they can provide a powerful learning ecosystem. I have selected some few tools that can be easily accessed and setup within no time. They include:
