Google has a number of remarkable tools in its repertoire, including Google Drive, a free space that lets you create and store documents and much more. Here are the activities that you can do:

there are word processing, spreadsheet, presentation tools
collaborate, publish and share documents
create mindmaps - even in collaboration
research using integrated Google search tools
create forms for student quizzes that return organized answers

Some of the benefits of using Google Drive with your students:

it is free and you don't even need a gmail address
encourages collaboration by asking students to edit the same document. You can view the history of changes, which lets you see what each student has contributed
there is an offline version so you don't even have to be connected
there are Android and IOS apps for your smartphones
it is compatible with Microsoft Office products

Here's an excellent link to get you exploring Google Docs and Drive:
