Google Gauntlet
This was a class recently put on in the IDEA lab at UWO. Including myself we had 4 instructors teaching faculty and staff different google applications. Were a google campus and this helps to get people a better understanding of how your google account can be used in different ways. Were also trying to encourage the use of google calendar and using it for scheduling. All in all I think it was effective and got good feedback. Most of the classes were comfortable full. The most full was the class on "Sheets". Below is the description of the class(s).
