Getting Started with Google for Education: Video Series

As I've been traveling around the UK training teachers and administrators on using Google for Education in the classroom the two most frequent questions I get are:

1. We just signed up or got Chromebooks, where do we start?

At which point I usually take them through some basic training, which leads to:

2. Where can I find this online?

There is an awesome official Google for Education Teacher Center, with a ton of great information, but I thought it would be helpful to be able to direct these people to the exact training I do as well.

Which is what lead me to create my first Google for Education video series. Below are the videos I recorded on the basics of Google for Education, Classroom, Docs, Slides, and Forms.

My plan is to continue these video series with more intermediate and advanced videos soon (stay tuned!)
