About the course
The goal of this pilot course is to help educators use Google technology to enhance the efficiency, innovation and effectiveness of their instruction. We have divided the course into three units, each focusing on a set of applications.
- Research and communicate: search for online resources and distribute information to school communities.
- Create and share: make online documents and foster collaboration using word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, and survey tools.
- Enhance classroom experiences: use online tools to enhance communication and visual lessons
