Tech Tip - Nov. 25, 2013

I know I have been a bit behind getting this out. Sometimes, it is a challenge. While we take time out
to spend time with family, I thought maybe this would be something we could all learn a little from, kids and adults. This message is from Kid President, maybe you have seen it, maybe not. Take 3 minutes out of your day to watch.

Weekly Tech Tip - Nov. 4, 2013

Where did the Google bar go in gmail?

So, the Google Bar is gone! What gives? It used to be when you logged into Gmail that you would have a bar across the top of your window where you could easily access your other apps (calendar, google drive, sites, etc.) That bar is no longer there. Instead, it has been replaced with a drop down that you can find in the upper right hand corner of your window (see screen shot). So, you just press that tiny icon and then you can easily switch between apps.

Happy Goog'ling,
Gregg
