Great Scott!
Welcome to the FUTURE!
IT’S TIME TO GO GOOGLE!
(GOOGLE WORKSPACE FOR EDUCATION)
Feel free to explore our Google Workspace for Education Training website at your own pace to experience the very best of what Google Workspace has to offer!
What is Google Workspace for Education?
Google Workspace for Education is a suite of web-based messaging and collaboration applications that Google hosts on their own servers. Google provides these applications as a “service,” rather than as software you have to download and install. To access these applications, you simply use a web browser on any computer or mobile device that’s connected to the Internet.
What does GSuite include?
Your new Google Workspace for Education account will include the following main services amongst many others:
- Gmail
- Google Calendar
- Google Drive
What are the key benefits?
Lots of storage — You get Unlimited storage on GSuite for Education, so you can archive all of your email online. You’ll no longer need to worry about deleting messages or saving them in offline folders.
Enhanced message organisation and retrieval — With Gmail, you’ll spend less time managing folders and searching for messages. For example, you can add one or more tags, or “labels,” to your messages to organise and store them more efficiently. And with the Google-powered search feature, you can find any message quickly and easily, whether it’s in your Inbox or stored in your message archive.
Easier calendar sharing — Google Calendar lets you and your team quickly and easily share your calendars with each other and specify the details you want to show. Calendar sharing is a great way to keep each other informed about your schedules. Now it’s easier than ever to find out if someone is in a meeting, on a business trip, or on vacation.
Integrated chat — With the Google Talk instant messaging application, you can communicate instantly with other people in our organisation right from the Gmail interface. In addition, all your chats are automatically saved, so you can always retrieve important information later.
Real-time collaboration — Using Google Docs, you can create documents, spreadsheets, presentations, drawings, and more, that you and your team can view and edit at the same time. You can still use your Microsoft Office products as needed, but now you’ll have more options for storing and collaborating on your documents.
Easy-to-build team web sites — With Google Sites, your team has the ability to quickly publish a robust internal web site on which to gather all sorts of shared information, such as documents, spreadsheets, presentations, files, and videos. You can even embed Google calendars, discussion forums, and other gadgets on your site!
Powerful video sharing — Using Google Video for business, you can easily share videos with your team or throughout our organisation for a whole new level of communication and collaboration.
All Hands on Doc!
