The article deals with the issue of teaching students of economic specialities by means of cloud technologies. The author analyses the possibilities of applying Internet services and demonstrates the feasibility of their implementation in education. The primary aim of this research is to examine the influence of Google Classroom tools on the development of students' economic competence. During the pedagogical experiment, the criteria (cognitive, motivational and technological), indicators, and levels (high, sufficient, average and low) of the formation of students' economic competence through Google Classroom were determined. 65 students of the Faculty of Management and Marketing of the National Technical University of Ukraine "Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute" took part in the experiment. The results prove that Google Classroom tools allow increasing the level of cognitive activity and motivate students to study economic subjects. The paper demonstrates that the use of Internet resources has a positive effect on the development of technology skills and also favourably promotes the introduction of new methods into the educational process.

“…Khalil's (2018) research on using Google Docs for collaborative group work shows that student attitudes to the activity were poor when a student had a lack of technological skill, and when the instructions from the educator were not clear. Research also found that online collaboration was more successful when small groups were facilitated, which reduced the negative effect of dominant voices and stopped shared file synchronous authoring confusion (Roberts, 2013). These research findings are supported by the anecdotal Journal of Applied Learning & Teaching Vol.4 No.1 (2021) complaints from educators, who may simply be ill-equipped to deliver engaging and effective group work, therefore are not providing the right scaffolded support to their students.…”

With a shift to mass online learning, maintaining the benefits of traditional on-campus collaborative group work is crucial for positive learning outcomes. Observations of online classes at a higher education business college reveal the risk of slipping into online lecturing if an educator feels that online group work 'doesn't work'. This EdTech review explores Google's suite of cloud-based shared files: Docs, Sheets, and Slides, through which we can maintain quality, efficient, and effective online group work. This review presents the history of cloud-based shared files, explores Google's suite of products, discusses the importance of social constructivist online peer-peer learning, and concludes with practical shared file case studies. This review challenges the educator to be student-centred. It equips them with practical instructions to incorporate shared files into their classroom activities. It asks the educator to consider our commitment to the modern online student -to provide quality learning outcomes by implementing cloud-based shared files that improve collaborative online learning experiences.
