As further proof that I learn something everyday from my professional learning network on Twitter, today learned about the Google Apps interactive tutorials from a message sent by Angela Maiers. The Google Apps interactive tutorial provides clear audio and text directions and practice exercises for using six Google products; email, calendar, talk, docs, sites, and start page. While working through the tutorials users will learn about the various applications and benefits of each product.
Applications for Education
The Google Apps interactive tutorials could be used with students to introduce them to the what each application does and how it works, but most middle school and high school students will figure them out faster than the tutorial moves. Where the Google Apps interactive tutorials will be very useful is when you are introducing adult learners (colleagues or others) to the Google Apps products.
