G Suite Fundamentals and Collaboration

This unit introduces students to core G Suite applications and account features—Gmail, Calendar, Contacts, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Meet, Chat, Groups, and Forms—and foundational settings for secure, productive work. It builds on prior digital literacy and prepares learners to apply collaboration, document creation, and basic automation and security practices in subsequent units.
