Google for Education

Training videos delivered to your inbox each week to get you started using G Suite for Education

Interested in the FUNDAMENTALS of Google for Education?
Want video-based tutorials on Drive, Docs, Classroom, Forms, Sheets, Slides, Drawings, and Gmail?
Willing to spend less than 15 minutes a week to learn new digital skills?

Here’s your chance:
Getting Started with Google for Education is an 8-week training program that delivers bite-size training tutorials directly to your inbox.聽 Each lesson takes less than 15 minutes to complete and provides basic training videos to get you started with G Suite for Education.

 

Sound too basic? Need something different to meet your needs?

Learning never stops

Dedicated educators are lifelong learners. With that in mind, Google has designed free, online training for the classroom that helps educators do what they do best, even better.

 

Distinguish yourself as an educator

Get certified to be recognized for the work you’ve done. Google offers two educator certifications so that you can show mastery at the level that’s right for you. Use the content in the teacher center and your own teaching experience to best prepare you for the performance-based exams. Once you feel adequately prepared, exams are available online and the educator certifications can be achieved at any time.聽 (Check the 无尽资源采集 PD offerings for a course designed to prepare you for the Level 1 Certified Educator Exam.)

Both GMail and Google Drive are changing (or have already changed) the way they look, also known as its 鈥渦ser interface鈥濃

 

Making the switch:

  • In GMail, currently, you can CHOOSE whether or not to update your user interface by clicking the gear and selecting 鈥淭ry the new 无尽资源采集 Mail鈥 [You can also switch back to the 鈥渃lassic GMail,鈥 but likely you will eventually be forced to the new GMail with no option to switch back.]
  • Your WPS Google Drive automatically switched to the new user interface sometime last week – this is/was not a choice nor can you switch back!

While the changes in Google Drive are mostly 鈥渃osmetic鈥, there are some new features in GMail to call your attention to:

    1. A new, right-hand Sidebar allows quicker access to Calendar, Google Keep & Tasks
    2. Smart Reply 鈥媘ight 鈥媠uggest 鈥媟esponses based 鈥媜n 鈥媡he 鈥媏mail 鈥媦ou 鈥媟eceive. 鈥婽o 鈥媠ave 鈥媡ime, select 鈥媋 鈥媟esponse 鈥(edit 鈥媔t 鈥媔f 鈥媦ou 鈥媤ant), 鈥媋nd 鈥媠end your 鈥媟eply.
    3. Take action on an email directly from the inbox (without 鈥渙pening鈥 the message). 聽Quickly 鈥媋rchive, 鈥媎elete, 鈥媘ark 鈥媋s 鈥媢nread 鈥媜r 鈥媟ead, and 鈥媠nooze 鈥媏mail 鈥媐rom 鈥媦our 鈥媔nbox. 鈥婸oint 鈥媡o messages 鈥媔n 鈥媦our 鈥媔nbox 鈥媋nd 鈥媍hoose 鈥媋n 鈥媜ption.
    4. If 鈥媦ou +鈥媘别苍迟颈辞苍 someone in the body of your email 鈥媤ith 鈥媋 鈥媝lus 鈥(+) 鈥媜r 鈥媋t 鈥(@) 鈥媠ign, 鈥婫mail automatically 鈥媋dds 鈥媡hem 鈥媡o 鈥媦our 鈥媏mail 鈥媋s a 鈥媟ecipient.
    5. Use the clock icon to Snooze 鈥媏mail 鈥媢ntil 鈥媏xactly 鈥媤hen 鈥媦ou 鈥媙eed 鈥媔t. 鈥婽he email 鈥媘oves 鈥媜ut 鈥媜f 鈥媦our 鈥媔nbox 鈥媋nd 鈥媜pens 鈥媋gain 鈥媋t a 鈥媡ime 鈥媦ou 鈥媍hoose.
    6. GMail will now 鈥鈥 users to reply to emails they may have missed and to follow up on emails for which they haven鈥檛 received a response.
