This is a way that eductors can utilize Google Drive full capabilities in the classroom

I've begun a journey this week where my students and I are collaborating on PE "sportfolios". So, I guess what I am saying, is you can add e-portfolios to the list!

"Until March 11th, 2014 (the launch of Add-ons) Apps Scripts for Google Sheets were distributed in the "Script Gallery."  The tools below will remain useful for some time to come, as many of them perform functionality still not available - most specifically TRIGGERED EVENTS like form submit or time-based events.  Until the Add-ons framework supports triggers, we encourage users to choose when and where to use the OLD Google Sheets so they can continue to access the script gallery and use our legacy tools.  Use this link to launch yourself a copy of an "old" Google Sheet, where you will be able to access the script gallery.  "

"Now it's time to do it again: we're calling for students ages 13-18 to submit their brilliant ideas for the fourth annual Google Science Fair, in partnership with Virgin Galactic, Scientific American, LEGO Education and National Geographic. All you need to participate is curiosity and an Internet connection. Project submissions are due May 12, and the winners will be announced at the finalist event at Google headquarters in Mountain View, Calif., on September 22."

A template to have students share and hand in work to you through google docs by dumping it into various folders that they have connected to their google drive folder.

VideoNotes is a neat new tool for taking notes while watching videos. VideoNotes allows you to load any YouTube video on the left side of your screen and on the right side of the screen VideoNotes gives you a notepad to type on. VideoNotes integrates with your Google Drive account. By integrating with Google Drive VideoNotes allows you to share your notes and collaborate on your notes just as you can do with a Google Document. 

Google Glass is a hands-free video camera, translator, list displayer, map, clock, and much more all rolled into something you can wear like glasses. You can even share pictures and video taken through Google glass with others. I don't know if any educational applications have been advertised by Google yet but I can see how it could make lessons and assessment much easier (provided it all works properly).
