The article considers Google Doc as a streamline tool that seems to have become a useful activity on the topic of “Art revealing Personality. “Life as a Work of Art” is the key topic under investigation. The pleasures and pains of classwork can easily be turned mostly to pleasures with this simple technique which we resort to in our online classes. Google Doc is an increasingly popular technology with teachers and students as they can use these tools wherever they can, having an opportunity to contribute and include their ideas by working on the same document from different places or times. Starting from scrutinizing the text about Cedric Morris, an English gardener and a painter, students complete the tables with the information about all the proper names from the article and then acquire the new vocabulary and practise it. The easiest and brightest platforms for such tasks turn out to be https://wordwall.net/, https://kahoot.com/, https://quizlet.com/ru. What comes into mind on this level of the students’ work is CLIL methodology, when it is the topic itself that becomes predominant but not a foreign language. Intertwining with and emphasizing the content even deeper students can easily and quickly be absorbed by this flowering artistic environment and enjoy the article thoroughly, going beyond the mere material published, extending their views upon art and gardening as something not only typical of the English but really indispensable from their lives. So, drowning in work with Google Docs, you are never lost. Instead, you are thoroughly absorbed. Key words: learning spaces in digital era, digital education tools, Google Docs, wordwall, kahoot, quizlet, CLIL
