Description
Overwhelmed by repetitive classroom and communication tasks piling up in Gmail, Drive, and Sheets? Want a simple way to automate the busy work so you can spend more time teaching and connecting with students? Workspace Studio is a new addition inside Google Workspace tools you already use, and automated workflows can streamline routine steps without adding another platform to your plate. In this course, Deb Norton shows you how to set up intelligent, automated workflows that connect Google tools to reduce clicks, improve consistency, and help you regain time for what matters most, with practical examples and a resource deck you can use right away. You will leave with a workflow you can implement immediately and a clear next step for automating one task this week.
