How can you work smarter, smoother, and safer in our increasingly hybrid environment? The answer: the Google First Wizarding College.
Google First is Notre Dame’s effort to promote Google’s productivity tools (e.g. Docs, Sheets, Slides, Chat) and help faculty and staff discover better ways to work.
Are you ready to increase your Google proficiency to Wizard level? The Google First Wizarding College is open for enrollment by ND faculty and staff. This online game allows you to practice with Google tools while having fun, winning prizes, and learning Google magic tricks.
Starting Monday, Jan. 17, you can progress through seven levels designed to increase your knowledge and efficiency in the Google workspace. Each self-paced level will be open for two weeks and should take you 30-60 minutes to complete.
Complete each level to earn digital badges, stickers, and be entered into an end-of-level prize drawing! Submit the completed challenge by the level’s end date to qualify for the Grand Prize Drawing! Every correct challenge answer earns you one entry into the prize drawing. More correct answers equal more chances to win!
