Google Applied Digital Skills Google Applied Digital Skills is a free, online curriculum that can be used remotely or in the classroom. Project-based units help students practice basic digital skills using Google's G Suite for Education apps. Students watch step-by-step video tutorials, pausing to complete activities. A teacher dashboard manages student assignments and progress, and the curriculum is aligned with ISTE Standards for Students.
Students must connect to a teacher's class using a code. Though the curriculum is self-paced, the lessons encourage collaboration and peer mentorship; some activities require teamwork. There is more than 100 hours of curriculum, including lessons such as Research and Develop a Topic, where students develop tests for credible sources; and Plan and Budget, where students collect and analyze data. For example, the If-Then Adventure Story unit fits easily into a creative writing class, but would also be a good project for a history class where students use real events to envision alternative histories.
