The Anatomy of G-Suite!

Happy Hump Day!

While in undergrad, I decided to major in Biology Pre-Med.  I thought that maybe one day, I'd like to be a doctor or perhaps even a nurse!  After spending some time in the retail world, I became an alternatively certified high school science teacher!  Even though I live in the world of Instructional Technology, I will always be a science teacher at the core!  While being in Tony Vincent's #classygraphics course, he has challenged us to create an infographic or cheat sheet.  I decided to merge my love of science (anatomy) and technology (Google) into what I'm calling, "The Anatomy of G-Suite!"  I will be tweaking these graphics as needed but I'm so excited about how they turned out!  Feel free to click on them to download a pdf version to use or share with your new-Google educator friends!  I plan to add to this collection of Anatomy posts for tools, resources and web 2.0 tools that I come across, love and share here on my platform!  Enjoy!
