What you will learn

At the end of the course you will have a sound understanding of the basics of Gmail, Google Drive, Google Docs and Google Calendar

Description

This course is an introduction to four of Googles most popular tools, namely Gmail, Google Drive, Google Docs and Google Calendar. Designed especially for beginers, it will help you to organise your online life.

Almost everyone uses email these days, so why not start as you mean to go on, and get organised?!

And, what's more, you don't have to be in business to use Google Drive and Google Docs.

We all have documents that need storing. They could be photos, videos, or even important paperwork. Safe storage is essential. So why not use Googles cloud to look after them? It's free!

As for Google Calendar.....we all need a diary to run an efficient life.

You will find 25 easy to follow videos inside. The majority of these are only a few minutes, so they are easy to digest. You can quickly go over them again if you "don't get it".

And you've got my personal contact details, so feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Take this course and learn the basics of these "must have" Googe Tools.

the lecture is really educating for someone like me who is new to almost all the application. so yes it is a good match for me.

The instructor's voice is choppy so it is harsh on the ears. Other instructors read out their instruction or speak fluently from memory. This instructor is speaking extemporaneously which makes it harder to follow.

This is my first course with Udemy. The tutor was explaining it so nicely and easy to understand. Will continue with Udemy.

It was clear and detailed enough for me to learn a few new things:) If I'll ever find their new video lessons I'll make sure to watch them for new google stuff as well:) Thank you!

The information is very good, but an updated version with the modern UI would be more appropriate for beginners in 2022.

Needs updated to meet with what Google 2021 and 2022 use. However it was a great guide and I can figure it out.

The tutorial was amazing, I've found the course to be very informative and useful. There were a few features that I've struggled with. From this tutorial I'm now able to navigate my way through them.

The instructor is very thorough but it's a little slow for me since I already know a lot of this from Microsoft Office but I'm sitting through it anyways. Also the Google version is older than mine.
