Module 7: Google Workspace
Work in Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides — the cloud half of every application pairing in this course — and learn when each is the better tool than its Microsoft counterpart.
What You'll Learn
- Create, format, and share documents, spreadsheets, and presentations in Google Workspace
- Collaborate in real time using comments, suggesting mode, and sharing permissions
- Use version history to recover earlier work
- Choose between a Google and a Microsoft application for a given task
Real-World Scenario
Lakeside Medical Associates keeps Microsoft Office for finished documents and uses Google Workspace for anything several people work on at once. Your supervisor asks you to draft the new patient welcome letter for three reviewers, keep the shared supply log current across three staff, and build the in-service deck with two colleagues — all before Friday. Each job needs the cloud tools, and the finished letter still needs Word.
