Course Summary

“I truly believe that we have infinite levels of power that we don’t even know are available to us.”
-Michael J. Fox

Google Drive is a web based storage program that allows users to create, edit and share files from any computer, and it’s free! You can create Documents (like in Word®), Sheets (like in Excel®), Slides (like in PowerPoint®), and even Drawings and Surveys. The main difference between Google Drive and your own computer drive is that all of the files that you create on Google Drive are created and stored online! And did I mention this software is free? It’s completely free. All you need is a Gmail account, which is also free.
Teachers, is your school is tired of the software update rat race? Are your students constantly losing their flash drives? Is storage an issue? This may be the solution you’ve been searching for! In this course, you will learn how to use Google’s online spreadsheet software, Sheets. You will use Sheets to create a personal budget and a grade sheet. You will also learn to mail merge address labels and share files! Do you want Google Drive and all its applications for your students? You’ll explore the Google Apps for Education program and determine how/if it is applicable to your school setting. This is an introductory course using primarily Google Sheets, but it also includes some other apps in Google such as Forms, Docs and Drawing. It’s a free web based software tool that every teacher should know and use. You may as well explore the program while earning some professional development hours for your time. Enjoy, teachers!
