  • This course is a 101 introduction to Google docs, sites, calendar, 
    Gmail, and search. It's pretty basic and I don't think that any of my 
    GCT friends will find it very helpful, but please feel free to use and

    It's an easy way to introduce someone to the four core Google 
    Applications and search.
