Mastering Google Apps for Education (K-12)/Flex Course
Is your school a Google-centric environment? Do you use many of the apps in G Suite for Education? Do you wish you knew how to use Google Apps to improve teaching and learning? This course is designed to help you master the Google apps that are part of G Suite for Education, as well as some others. You will learn the basics of the apps as well as how to integrate them into your classroom and curriculum. The course begins with an overview of the most popular Google apps as well as an introduction to technology configurations and integration. Then, we jump into an in-depth look at how to use the following apps within the context of the curriculum: Drive, Docs, Calendar, Search, Translate, Hangouts, Forms, Slides, Sheets, Earth, Maps, Classroom, Photos, Sites, Keep, and Drawings. The final step is putting it all together by reviewing and creating lessons that integrate several Google apps into a single lesson. This course is worth 3 ⅓ semester units/5 quarter units from UC San Diego Extension. For detailed information on university credit, click here.
"The content was great! Everything was very clear and easy to follow, and I really appreciated the screen shots that were included. It made it easy for me to go on the apps myself and practice using them." - Marisa Willman
