Introduction: In the modern world the digitalization of educational trends offers many mechanisms for implementation. At the same time their use depends on many conditions. The purpose of this article is to study the peculiarities of using Google web applications to create an accessible and interactive learning environment in wartime. The main objective are using Google tools to implement education in wartime, describe the results of their use, finding its efficiency. Method: The realization of this goal involves the use of certain scientific methods. In particular, we are talking about the use of a survey and the method of content analysis of scientific literature, which made it possible to compare the Ukrainian experience with the existing paradigms of perception of Google tools in education. Results: The study results show that Google web applications are an important part of the modern educational process. All applications have a simple and user-friendly interface. The measurements showed that Google Classroom (33.33%) and Google Meet (26.67%) are the most used applications. This proves their important role in organizing online classes both at the organizational and direct learning levels. Teachers also use Google Drive, Google Docs, and Google Forms, which fulfill their function in organizing the modern educational process. Conclusion: The conclusions note that the importance of further research is dictated by the need to take into account new changes and capabilities of the tools.
