Google Resources

It was a pleasure and an honor to speak at the National Association of Extension 4-H Agents Convention today! Terrific group of folks, buzzing with neat ideas! Thank you for such a warm welcome, and a really fun session!

I mentioned some Google products, and a few asked for more resources on the products. I wanted to share some sites that might be helpful as you incorporate Google into your offices and programs.

• Google for Nonprofits ~ there is an application process, but the benefits are amazing, and it is free for organizations with less than 3,000 people.
• Google+ Hangouts ~ free resource for holding video conference sessions. This is a guide to what the symbols mean and how exactly to use this feature.
• Google Sites ~ create collaborative internal websites. This is the beginner's guide to getting started.
• Google Sites How tos ~ how to instructions for adding content, managing the appearance, etc.
• Google Drive ~ create and store collaborative documents, including word documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and forms (for polling/collecting data). This is the getting started guide!
• Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides ~ understand more about each type.
• Share and Collaborate ~ how to make it all happen!
• Creating free QR Codes ~ there are numerous resources to do this, but these are two of my favorites:
• www.qrstuff.com
• http://beqrious.com/qr-code-generator/
• Once you have created the QR Code, download it and ad to any print materials.

These should get you started! Happy collaborating!
