What it is: Google Workspace is Google’s answer to Microsoft 365 (previously known as Office 365) with impressive productivity apps like Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, Meet, and more. What you'll learn: In this 2-part course, we provide viewers with a streamlined rundown of Google Workspace. First, we start with the essentials like creating a Google account and understanding the Google Workspace interface. Then, we cover all the similarities between Google apps by going over simple tasks like creating, sharing, and managing files. Next, we jump in and show you how to use specific Google apps. The first app we cover is Google Drive, where you store the files you’re working on. From there, we move on to Google Sheets and talk about inputting data and spreadsheet mainstays like formulas, functions, and more. Google Docs is next. We spend some time going over the main features users should know about when they’re creating documents. Another app we cover is Google Slides, which is similar to Microsoft PowerPoint. You’ll learn how to build and deliver professional presentations, with effective slides, animations, and transitions. We finish off the course with Google Forms and Meet. Forms is Google’s form creation app, while Meet is Google’s online meeting app for voice and video calls.
