Google Docs & Sheets for Word & Excel Users

3 sessions of 2.5 hours each

You are quite comfortable using Word & Excel. Lately, Google has become popular. Technology users are exploring the world of Google and are embracing the many Google Apps.

This three-lesson class is intended for the student who wants to learn how to do the same basic operations they currently are doing in Word & Excel under the Google umbrella. It is not for the person who currently has no word processing or spreadsheet skills. It is for the person who wants to learn how to apply what he/she has learned in Word & Excel and transfer it to Google Sheets & Docs. In addition, students will learn how to use Google Drive which allows users to save and store files in the Google Cloud, synchronize files across devices, and share files with others.
