Important information

Just to give some quick info to make sure this session is suitable for you :)

​

This course relates to Google Apps administration (admin). These are the tasks typically performed by your school IT department such as adding and creating Google Apps users, resetting passwords, and managing how Google Apps is used across the school. We start from the basics and get into more techy topics

​

Many teachers are looking to get involved in admin and can benefit from the course but it is not focussed on Google tools to use in the classroom so if this is your focus I would suggest to attend another session. Also you can try it and feel free to leave if it’s not for you.

​

If you are not sure if you will benefit from this course please email or Google chat me at dan@appsevents.com
