Getting Started

Note from Vicki:

Google products and services are constantly evolving. As you work through this course, you will note that button, icons, and other elements look different in the tutorials than they do in your account. Do not be alarmed by this! These changes are a natural part of the pains of progress, but progress is good. Google reads the feedback provided by users and incorporates it to make the platform increasingly user-friendly and efficient. With a little problem-solving and inference by context, you will find that the features are available, even if they look a little different. Enjoy!

Training Site Video Tour:

Please take the time to view this video for a tour of this website and tips on navigation, then continue to the Getting Started lessons below. Again, some of the elements shown here may change, but this will give you an idea of how to navigate the course website. We no longer use a Checklist for this course because it is now divided into smaller modules.

TIP: To view the video full-screen, click to play, then hover over the video and click on (Full screen) in the bottom right corner of the video. Hit the Esc key on your keyboard to exit full-screen.
