Session 3 Slides (6MB) and PDF (2MB)
Session three began with a recap of session 2 (Friday’s
session). We completed our Blogger journal entry due to an internet outage on
Friday. Next up we changed our journal settings to private – not public – so you
have control over who read your blog. Your blog has been shared with me, I will
aim to comment weekly on your learning journal throughout the course. You
should have bookmarked this class blog page in Google chrome for ease of
access.
Up next we opened Gmail and discussed how we can open Gmail
(from typing www.gmail.com into the web browser, clicking on the Gmail
tab on the Google search web page, and a third way by clicking on the Apps icon
at the top right of the screen in Chrome). As you can see there are many ways
to perform an action. I hope to show you the most effective way to save time.
We looked at how to read, compose, reply, add attachments and download
attachments from Gmail.
Google Drive was our next topic. We looked at how to access
Google Drive (the App icon in Chrome and www.drive.google.com
in the web browser, where we are prompted to login to our Google Account.
Google Drive is our cloud storage app, where we can have access to our files no
matter which computer we log into, as long as there is an internet connection.
We opened a new Google document and had started navigating
and becoming familiar with the Docs layout. We will be creating many word
processed documents throughout our learning sessions.
