Google Suite at Berkeley Adult School is a 9-week class that runs once per week for 3 hours per class. The class teaches students about the popular cloud-based productivity suite by Google. Students will learn how to manage and share files/folders in Drive, create/format documents in Google Docs, create/format spreadsheets in Google Sheets, create/format a presentation in Google Slides, and create/format a survey in Google Forms. Students will learn how to collaborate and share items with others.
All classes that I teach at Berkeley Adult School are taught in a HyFlex format. That means that a student can attend in-person or online via Zoom. Students can choose how they attend each session. Thus, one day they can attend via Zoom and a different day come in-person. If need help with Zoom, here are a couple of resources a Zoom Quick Reference Guide, and the Zoom Screen graphic.

To give you as much opportunity to learn and support you, I made an online version of the course at a website called Canvas and a separate course called Google Applied Skills. This allows you to work outside of class time and submit your work. If you are interested you will receive an email with instructions on how to sign up and join either or both classes. For help with Canvas, please watch the Canvas - Signing Up and Using Canvas Video.
