Google Apps User Group Sharing Sessions

Thank you to all of you who attended the inaugural get together of Google Apps Users.  Participants enjoyed the cross campus meeting and liked hearing how people were using Google Apps.  They also provided valuable feedback for improvement which is being put into place for the next two meetings.  Please visit Saint Mary's Going Google support web site to see the notes from the last User group.  You'll see the link to the notes on the bottom of the left hand side.

As you can see from the above diagram, Google Apps for Education has a myriad of possible uses.  So many possibilities leads to many new things to learn.  To help us all with this, there are two more User group meetings yet this summer.  We hope you can find  time in your busy schedules to attend one or both.

July 21, 2011 - Gmail and Google Calendar II

• Although these topics were discussed in June, there are so many ways these can be used to increase your productivity, only the surface was scratched.  If you have any specific questions or areas you would like covered, please email the Helpdesk on your campus.

August 18, 2011 - Google Docs

• We are fortunate to have Sonia Feder-Lewis to lead us in this discussion.  Sonia has personally used Google Docs for several years and has taught classes on how to use this powerful functionality.  If you have not seen Docs in action, you will be amazed at the simplicity of doing true collaboration on document (word processing, spreadsheet, and presentations) creation and editing as well as sharing your work.

Both user groups will start a Noon for one hour.  Please bring a bag lunch if you like to multi task.  If you have laptop, please bring it with you so you can follow along in your Google Apps account.  If you do not have a laptop, the Winona campus has several systems available in the room and the Minneapolis campus will be providing loaner laptops.

Location:

• Minneapolis campus - LaSalle Hall 210
• Winona campus - Hendrickson 23
