Google LLC is an American multinational technology company that focuses on the following:
• search engine technology
• online advertising
• cloud computing
• computer software
• quantum computing
• e-commerce
• artificial intelligence
• consumer electronics.
Goggle is so popular that it has become a verb today, as in "Google It!" if you need to find the answer to a question.
Google creates software products, notably the Google search engine, Google Mail, Google Chrome browser, Google Calendar, Google Sheets, Google Photos, Youtube, and many other mostly free software applications. Google also develops and manufactures consumer electronics such as Chromebook tablet/laptops and GooglePixel mobile phones.
For this workshop, we will be using:
• Google Calendar to help you manage your time
• Google Sheets to help you manage your finances, and
• Google Mail ("GMail") to manage communication via electronic mail or "email."
• Google Chrome as the browser to run the Google applications in.
Those applications will be running on PCs under the Microsoft Windows operating system. Additionally, you can load those applications on your MAC, Chromebook, cellphone, or tablet, whether it's using an ios (iPhone), MACOS, Android (Samsung, Google Pixel, Amazon) or ChromeOS (ChromeBook) operating system.

Once you have successfully created a Google account, you can proceed to the Calendar choice at the top of this website and you will be taken to a page that shows you how to create tasks, events, calendars, and other items managed by the Google Calendar application. Finally, we will work on managing your finances within the Google Sheets application. By clicking on the Sheets choice at the top of this website, you will be taken to a page that will show you how to open and edit a Google Sheets budgeting template that walks you through the process of best managing your income and expenses.
