INTRODUCTION TO GOOGLE WORKSPACE


AND CLOUD STORAGE (WEEK TWO)
Lesson Overview
In Week Two, we will focus on understanding cloud storage, with a specific emphasis on Google
Workspace. This session will introduce key tools (Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Drive)
that students will use throughout their university studies for writing, sharing, and storing
documents. We will also learn how to manage and organize digital files effectively.

Learning Objectives
By the end of this session, you will be able to:
• Understand the concept and benefits of cloud storage.
• Set up and navigate Google Drive.
• Create and organize documents in Google Docs and Google Sheets.
• Collaborate in real-time using Google Workspace tools.
• Understand basic file management and sharing protocols.

Key Concepts
1. Introduction to Cloud Storage
Definition: Cloud storage allows you to save and access files online, making it easy to access
them from any device. Google Drive, for example, is a cloud-based service that offers free and
paid storage options for your files.

Why Use Cloud Storage?


1. Accessibility: Access files anywhere, from any device with an internet connection.
2. Backup: If your device is damaged, your files are still safe in the cloud.
3. Collaboration: Multiple users can work on the same document at the same time.
Example:
Imagine you’re working on a research paper. By saving it on Google Drive, you can access it
from your home, the university library, or even your phone.

2. Google Workspace Overview


Google Workspace (formerly known as G Suite) is a collection of productivity tools provided by
Google, which includes:
1. Google Drive: Cloud storage for your files.
2. Google Docs: A word processor for creating text documents.
3. Google Sheets: A spreadsheet tool for organizing data.
4. Google Slides: A presentation tool for making slideshows.
5. Google Forms: A tool for creating surveys and quizzes.
Example:
You can use Google Docs to write an essay, Google Sheets to track assignment deadlines, and
Google Slides to prepare a presentation.

3. Google Drive: Setup and Navigation


Step-by-Step Guide:
1) Setting Up Google Drive:
1. Sign in: Go to Google Drive and sign in with your Google account.
2. Dashboard: The main interface shows your recent files and folders.
3. Creating Folders: Click on “New” > “Folder” to create a new folder to organize your
files.

2) Uploading Files:
To upload files, click “New” > “File Upload” and select the file from your device.
You can also drag and drop files directly into Google Drive.

3) Sharing Files:
To share a file or folder, right-click on it, select “Share,” and enter the email address of the
person you want to share it with.
You can set permissions (view, comment, or edit) for the person you’re sharing with.

Example:
You can create a folder for each course, upload all your assignments there, and share the folder
with your classmates if you’re working on group projects.

4) Google Docs: Basics

Creating a Document:
1. Open Google Drive.
2. Click on “New” > “Google Docs” to create a new document.
3. The interface is similar to Microsoft Word, with options to format text (bold, italic), insert
images, and add tables.
Collaboration:
Multiple users can edit the same document in real-time.
You can see the changes being made by your collaborators and even chat with them while
working.
Example:
You and a classmate can work on the same essay simultaneously, with one person writing the
introduction while the other writes the conclusion. You can also leave comments for each other
to suggest revisions.

4. Google Sheets: Basics

Creating a Spreadsheet:
1. Open Google Drive.
2. Click on “New” > “Google Sheets” to create a new spreadsheet.
3. Google Sheets is used for organizing data in rows and columns.
4.
Basic Functions:
• Formulas: Google Sheets has built-in formulas for basic arithmetic, such as addition
(=SUM(A1:A10)) and averaging (=AVERAGE(B1:B10)).
• Data Sorting: You can sort your data alphabetically or numerically by selecting a column
and using the “Sort” feature.
Example:
Google Sheets is ideal for tracking your grades, creating a schedule, or managing a group project
timeline.

5. Hands-on Activity: File Management in Google Drive


Activity Description:
In this activity, you will practice creating folders, uploading files, and sharing them with
classmates.
Steps:
1. Create a Folder: In Google Drive, create a folder titled “ICT Week 2.”
2. Upload a File: Upload any document from your computer into this folder (e.g., a class note
or an image).
3. Create a Google Doc: Inside the “ICT Week 2” folder, create a new Google Doc. Write a
short paragraph about the importance of cloud storage.
4. Share the Folder: Share your folder with a classmate by entering their email address and
giving them “Editor” access.

Criteria for Success:


• Folder creation and file upload are completed correctly.
• Google Doc is created and includes a relevant paragraph.
• The folder is successfully shared with a classmate, and the correct permissions are set.

6. Website Credibility Check (Continuation)


Last week, we discussed how to evaluate the credibility of websites. This week, we will continue
building on this concept by exploring how to find credible academic sources using Google
Scholar.

Steps:
1. Access Google Scholar: Go to Google Scholar.
2. Search: Enter a keyword related to your major (e.g., “language acquisition”) and find two
peer-reviewed articles.
3. Evaluate the Credibility: Use the same criteria from Week 1 (author, date, citations, etc.) to
assess the credibility of the sources.

Example:
When you search for articles on “second language acquisition,” you’ll find studies by reputable
authors published in academic journals. Make sure the articles are recent and properly
referenced.
7. Homework Assignment
1. File Organization Task:
Create a folder in Google Drive titled “ICT Semester 1” and upload all your class notes and
assignments there.
Share the folder with your instructor for review.

2. Research Task:
Use Google Scholar to find two academic articles on a topic related to your studies.
Bring the URLs of these articles to the next class for a discussion on evaluating research sources.
