Developing our digital skills: Google Workspace Skills

Landmark is excited to announce that it has signed up to Canopy’s Workspace Skills interactive training modules. This is a resource to help develop our digital literacy. The tool supports staff and students in developing their use of google workspace tools such as:

• Drive

• Docs

• Slides

• Sheets

• Sites

• Classroom

The programme has three interactive tutorials for each workspace tool. These get progressively more challenging and are associated to bronze, silver and gold awards for each tool. When you complete all the tutorials successfully you can achieve an overall bronze, silver or gold award for your use of google workspace. These awards a kept in an online passport.
