Google Workspace Overview
Google Workspace has a collection of Internet-based applications similar to Microsoft products such as Word (Google Docs), Excel (Google Sheets), and PowerPoint (Google Slides) that can be beneficial for class collaboration and electronic assignment submission.
Student Orientation/Training
While no training is necessary to use Google Workspace, the Google Workspace Learning Center can give you an introduction to this set of tools. Their Quick Tips section may also be helpful.
