July 14
Everything Google--Chrome (9 SCHECHs)
Interested in “turbocharging” your online browsing experience?

Everything Google--Chrome will meet on Tuesday, July 14 at the CCISD from 9 a.m. - 12 p.m. If you attend three of the four, Everything Google sessions, you will be eligible for 9 SCECHs.
Fee: Free*

July 21
Everything Google--Gmail & Security (9 SCECHs)
UP summers should be spent swimming in Lake Superior, not e-mail! This session will teach you how to better manage your e-mail inflow so more time can be spent on the important things! You will also learn about e-mail threats and safety precautions that might be as shocking as a dip in the Big Lake! Everything Google--Gmail and Security will meet on Tuesday, July 21 at the CCISD from 9 a.m. - 12 p.m. If you attend three of the four, Everything Google sessions, you will be eligible for 9 SCECHs.

July 30
Everything Google--Drive (9 SCECHs)
Save Brockway Mountain Drive for the fall; let’s take a ride up Google Drive instead! We will explore Google Drive and its integrated programs commonly known as Google Apps. This ride up the Drive will be no sightseeing trip but rather a hands-on adventure through Docs, Spreadsheet, Slides and Forms. Everything Google--Drive will meet on Thursday, July 30 at the CCISD from 9 a.m. - 12 p.m. If you attend three of the four, Everything Google sessions, you will be eligible for 9 SCECHs.
Fee: Free*

Session is free for employees of schools within the CCISD and GOISD. CCISD charges a nominal fee for SCECH processing which is not included.

You must attend three of the four Everything Google sessions offered this summer in order to be eligible for the 9 SCECHs
