Barton Community College’s Silver Cougar Club will offer a continuation course on Google Drive from 1-4 p.m. Wednesdays, March 4 – April 8, at the Center for Adult Education, 1025 Main St. in Great Bend.  The first course is not required to enroll in this course.

Google is more than just a search engine and offers many different apps and services.  Google Drive is Google’s “cloud storage” component.  It was released in April of 2012 and is a free way to keep your files backed-up and easily accessible from any smart phone, tablet or computer.  It is a unique file storage and synchronization system which offers users cloud storage, file sharing and collaborative editing.  This continuation course will focus on spreadsheets and surveys created via Excel.  For those computer users who are sometimes confused and overwhelmed by all of the bells and whistles of Microsoft Office, you will enjoy the simplicity and easy access of Google Drive.

Barton’s Technical Support System Administrator Rich Unrein will be the instructor.

Cost for the class is $32 for Silver Cougar Club members and $97 for non-members.  The class is limited to 16.  For more information or to enroll, please contact Barton’s Coordinator of Fundraising & Special Events Coleen Cape at capec@bartonccc.edu or (620) 786-1136.
