Getting Started with Google Workspace

In a business environment-using Google Workspace, a web-based suite of applications designed for different types of work-can significantly increase your productivity. These apps can increase creativity, critical thinking, and communication in a classroom setting. Google Workspace can also be beneficial in personal use as you look to deepen your understanding of working with others, including family, friends, teammates, volunteers, and more! In this Google Workspace training course, you will learn about the many free apps (Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drive, Contacts, Calendar, Meet, and Chat) that Google makes available on the web and how to put them to work for business, hobbies, and personal projects. You will find out how to use each of the most popular Google apps and how they fit together to support each other and make things easier for you-from sending email messages to creating business and personal documents to sharing files and more. Upon successful completion of your course, you will know the ins and outs of Google Workspace apps, such as beginner and advanced features and formulas from your Google Sheets training, Gmail best practices, and world-class presentations produced using Slides.
