TECHNOLOGY LINGO:
Google Classroom versus Google Drive and Google Docs:
Students get resources or the assignments /materials from Google Classroom. You can download an outline, video, sample or picture. BUT Google Drive has various work that a student has created using Google Docs/Slides/Spreadsheet.
So the teacher keeps a CLASSROOM of materials to help his/her students. A students keeps his/her documents in a DRIVE to store items and save them (except this one saves automatically) and a DOC/SLIDE/SPREADSHEET is a platform to create.
