We are very happy to announce that the Google Apps for Education migration for faculty and staff is now complete. We’d like to thank everyone at Simmons for your patience and cooperation as we worked to ensure that your email was migrated correctly and that you were provided with the individual attention you needed.

In conjunction with the end of this project, we will be transitioning from project-based training to a sustainable, long-term training structure. We will announce training dates and times as soon as the schedule is finalized. In the meantime, you can get answers to almost any Google Apps question from several sources:

Built-in Google Apps Training – when logged in to Google Apps, click “More” on the black bar at the top of the screen, then click “Google Apps Training.” This will take you to detailed, searchable instructions on almost any Google Apps function.

Google Apps Project Site – You can find instructions here for quickly setting up your mobile devices, as well as guides to advanced functions for administrative assistants, information for new employees, and much more.

lynda.com – Our partnership with lynda.com provides dozens of instructional videos about Google’s products, including Google Apps.

Service Desk – Remember that you can always contact the Service Desk for assistance with Google Apps by calling 617-521-2222 or visitingservicedesk.simmons.edu.

Throughout the summer, we’ll continue providing Google Apps tips in our newsletter to help improve your experience and increase your knowledge of Gmail, Calendar, and all of the other apps.
