If you have not used google classroom, google forms, google docs, etc. then this is very informative. If you already have a good base level knowledge of google applications, then a lot of the information will be recap of what you know.

Great

It was way to overwhelming and had a lot of new information. Although it did give me more options, it did not teach me how to use them and instead gave me links to go learn myself. I would’ve liked for them to share less options and give more details or the course be longer to cover the information in more detail.
