Tech Talk: BIT-IC students participate in Google Apps Training

Just yesterday, October 9, 2010, 60 students with IT related courses from BIT-IC participated in the Auza.net-sponsored Google Applications training. The BIT-IC students were the first batch to be trained, and given their own Google Apps email. The training started at around 9 o’clock in the morning at the BIT-IC Computer Laboratory. Their speaker was Auza.net Technology Consultant Mr. Jerome Auza, assisted by Rey Doblas and Jeffrey Jabines. The training included creating individual personnal email accounts for the participants and the step-by-step instructions on how to efficiently use the applications. The energy and excitement of the students were noticeable upon learning of the many features of their email and upon the discovery of how group collaboration can be so easy. Armed with what they have learned from the short yet very helpful training, the BIT-IC students are now more keen on working with their teachers, classmates or project groupmates. This goes to show that Google Applications do not prove itself useful in office settings, but even more so in academic atmospheres. Auza.net will hopefully be conducting more trainings regarding google applications in the future, so that more and more students can make use of this technology. The training was organized with the help of BIT-IC instructor Mr. Hercules Avenido, and with special thanks to Mr. Neil Balite. Share...
