G Suite Foundations and Collaboration

This unit introduces learners to core G Suite apps (Gmail, Calendar, Contacts, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, Meet, Chat, and Groups) and the fundamental productivity, formatting, sharing, and collaboration features needed for entry-level digital work. Lessons build basic keyboarding and word-processing skills, prepare students to manage schedules and communications, and introduce security/settings practices that support safe, effective collaboration.

Learning Objectives

• Analyze G Suite app interfaces and workflows and select the appropriate tool (Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, Gmail, Calendar, Meet, Chat, Groups) for given workplace scenarios by correctly matching tools to at least 8 of 10 scenarios.
• Demonstrate core communication and scheduling skills by composing and sending email messages, managing calendar events and meeting invitations, populating contacts, and using Meet/Chat functions in role-based simulations with accurate completion of required steps.
• Apply basic document, spreadsheet, and presentation skills to create and format content—using fonts, paragraphs, headers/footers, tables in Docs; formulas and functions in Sheets; and layouts in Slides—and configure sharing permissions to collaborate with others on assigned tasks.
• Evaluate and implement essential account and network settings by configuring working hours and send settings, applying appropriate file-sharing/privacy options, and describing or applying basic Wi‑Fi security practices in at least three realistic scenarios.
