This class teaches the basic skills of using Google Docs to create well formatted documents, including: 1. How to create and organize text paragraphs with custom spacing, color, and text styles. 2. How to insert images, drawings, and tables. 3. How to Share and collaborate with others using sharing options and commenting functions. Each topic will be introduced with a short lecture followed by hands-on exercises. Students should be comfortable with using keyboard and mouse (or touch pad). No prior experience with Google Docs is required.
The student should have a Google account they can use for Google Docs before the class.
I'm a software engineer throughout my professional career of 10+ years. I developed large scale consumer software and services and led development teams at Microsoft, Google, and tech startups.
I like teaching because I enjoy helping and working with children. At Outschool I teach programming, computer science, and other topics related to software development and technology. I believe in learning through doing. I also think the most valuable thing to teach is the ability to learn by oneself. So my classes are mostly project based, practical, and aimed to give learners the tools to teach themselves.
I originally came from China, went to graduate school in Texas, and moved to the west coast of US since 2009. I currently live in California with my husband and two young daughters. I like reading books and writing blogs when I'm not programming.
