  • Google Workspace Self-Study Videos and Directions

    In this section, you will find video resources and step-by-step directions for some of the core applications in Google Workspace. This is the section you want if you are unfamiliar with Google Workspace.

    • Google maintains the Applied Digital Learning site. We have created a class that includes lessons to introduce the features and operations of Google Workspace tools to those who are unfamiliar with them.

    • We recommend the 7-course Getting Started with Google Workspaces specialization on Coursera as a good starting place for those who have never used Gmail or any previous version of Google Workspaces.

    • We have also created an Applied Digital Skills course that takes participants through the use of Google Workspace tools. These are different from the lessons in the basic course as they approach the tools from the perspective of how the use them for productivity purposes. The lessons in this course take longer to complete than the lessons in the basic course.
