In 2004, Google changed email forever with Gmail.
Just a few years later, millions of people had a
Google account. But Google offers more than email
alone. Your Google account is used to manage your
YouTube videos, Google Calendar, the Google Play
store for your Android device, and much more. In this
course, we will cover ways to keep your account safe
with two-factor authentication, display mail in the
way that’s most convenient for you, share only what
you want to share in Photos, Google+, and YouTube,
and help make your life easier by letting Google know
a little without knowing everything. Finally, we will
investigate some lesser-known Google tools such as
Google Voice, Google Docs, and Google Hangouts.
Students are required to bring a fully charged laptop to class.
Due to its short format, this workshop may not be taken
for Credit or a Letter Grade.
