THIS MONTH AT DIGITAL BASICS
Google Basics: Get Organized Online
Wednesday, September 30 | 6PM-7PM
If Google Drive, Gmail, downloads, uploads, and all those little buttons leave you wondering “Where did my file just go?” — this class is for you.
This month, you'll learn how to:
✓ Navigate Google & Gmail — understand your Google account and the tools available to you.
✓ Get organized with Google Drive — create folders, upload files, rename documents, and actually find what you saved.
✓ Work with files confidently — practice downloading, uploading, sharing, and organizing files for everyday life, work, or business.
Bring your laptop or device if you have one.
Don't have one? That's okay. Come anyway.
No experience needed. We'll walk through it together.
