Add A Profile Photo in Google Apps

Would you like to add a profile picture to your Google Apps account?  Want people to see a photo of you when you communicate?

Or do you want them to see an icon that represents you, perhaps your favorite teams' logo or a photo of your pooch?

Either way, you can add that to your profile with easy steps below:

1.  Open Gmail.
2.  Click on the gear at far right and choose Settings.
3.  Choose General Tab in Settings.
4.  Scroll down to My Picture.
5.  Follow prompts after clicking on Select A Picture.
*After you have added a photo, you will see Change picture (below).

Google Course for Teachers

If you would like to take a free course on the basics of Google, I have found the answer for you.  Google has created an online course for teachers who would like to use Google Apps more effectively.  It is online and you can do it on your own schedule.  You get a certificate of completion at the end!

I took the course and I recommend it for anyone who wants to better know the power of Google Apps.

The course is only available for a limited time, but the materials will be available long term.  Happy learning!
