ITS to Launch 8 week Google Summer Collaboration Challenge!

GOOGLE COLLABORATION CHALLENGE BADGE

Starting Tuesday May 29th, ITS will be releasing a series of weekly tips aimed at improving communication and collaboration within the Manhattan College Community.  A new tip will be available each week for the 8 weeks following commencement and before the start of the 2018-2019 academic year. Whether you are on campus or at home - student or employee - anyone can participate!

The 8-week Summer Collaboration Challenge will include tips and tricks ranging from basic to advanced topics such as email, Google Apps, ways to communicate to large audiences, better ways to manage time and activities via online calendars, and many more. Participants will have the opportunity to complete each phase of the 8-week challenge at their own pace - all at once, or as topics are released. Track your progress by completing a short questionnaire at the end of each challenge and earn the 8 -week Collaboration Challenge badge at the end of the program!  

A digital badge is a way to communicate and track achievement, they make your credentials portable and your skills more visible. You can put the Digital Badge on your resume or link to your LinkedIn account.  These badges or digital certificates, are issued by Manhattan College and they do not expire.

Convert text to all CAPS and more in Google Docs

 Capitalizing a large portion of text or an especially long title can be a pain.  Doing the opposite—converting capital letters to lowercase—is equally a waste of time. With this launch, we’re making those tasks quick and easy in Google Docs on the web.


Starting today, simply choose “Capitalization” from the Format menu in Docs, and select one of the following:

• lowercase, to make all the letters in your selection lowercase.
• UPPERCASE, to capitalize all the letters in your selection.
• Title Case, to capitalize the first letter of each word in your selection.

It’s that easy. Like other recent launches in Docs, this feature allows you to spend less time formatting and more time on the things that matter, like strategizing, collaborating, and developing new ideas.
