G Suite Training Extension

Adding this extension will create an interactive training and walk through area that lives right within Google Apps
It is safe to say that Green is now a “Google District”.  Most of you have begun embracing using the various applications available in Google.  Where do you go to get help when you need it? Last month I introduced to you the “Tech Integration” category in our Help Desk system.  In this digest I would like to show you a Chrome extension that you can add that will create an easy to access reservoir of helpful tutorials and training videos that are specific to the application you are working in.  Here is all you have to do to add the “G Suite Training for Google Apps” extension.
  1. Launch Google Chrome and login to your Google account
  2. Access the webstore (directions on how to access the webstore and add extensions)
  3. Search for “G Suite Training”

  4. Click “Add to Chrome”
Next time you go into a Google product (Docs, Classroom, Sheets, etc), you will see this icon in the upper right corner of the app. If you click on this icon a menu will appear that shows you all the topics available.  For example in Docs:\
  • Insert a Chart 
  • Using Voice Commands While Editing
  • Adding Fonts
If you click on any of the topics in the menu you will be given assistance with that specific task within that specific app.  Just-in-time training and assistance right when you need it - while you are in the app!
If you need help adding this extension or using it, put in a Help Desk Ticket.  Be sure to choose the “Tech Integration” category and include a time that works to come help you in the description.
