GOOGLE SHEETS Introduction
Google Sheets allows you to organize, edit, and analyze different types of information using spreadsheets. In this lesson, you'll learn about the different ways you might use spreadsheets and how to navigate the Google Sheets interface. You'll also learn the basic ways to work with cells and cell content, including how to select cells, insert content, and copy and paste cells.
To create a new Google spreadsheet: 1. While viewing your Google Drive, click Create and select Spreadsheet from the dropdown menu.
2. The spreadsheet will appear in a new browser tab.
To name your spreadsheet, locate and select Untitled spreadsheet at the top of the page.
5 GOOGLE TOOLS TO USE IN CLASSROOM
The Rename Document dialog box will appear. Type a name for your spreadsheet, then click OK.
Your spreadsheet will be renamed.
Whenever you need to view or edit your spreadsheet, you can access it again from your Google Drive, where it will be saved automatically.
6 GOOGLE TOOLS TO USE IN CLASSROOM
You may notice that there is no save button. This is because Google Drive uses autosave, which automatically and immediately saves your files as you edit them.
Cell basics Every spreadsheet is made up of thousands of rectangles, which are called cells. A cell is the intersection of a row and a column. Columns are identified by letters (A, B, C), while rows are identified by numbers (1, 2, 3).
Each cell has its own name—or cell address—based on its column and row. In this example, the selected cell intersects column C and row 10, so the cell address is C10. Note that a cell's column and row headings become darker when the cell is selected. You can also select multiple cells at the same time. A group of cells is known as a cell range. Rather than a single cell address, you'll refer to a cell range using the cell address of the first and last cells in the cell range, separated by a colon. For example, a cell range that included cells A1, A2, A3, A4, and A5 would be written as A1:A5.
7 GOOGLE TOOLS TO USE IN CLASSROOM
In the images below, two different cell ranges are selected: ● Cell range A2:A8
●
● Cell range A2:B8
● Understanding cell content Any information you enter into a spreadsheet will be stored in a cell. Each cell can contain several different types of content, including text, formatting, formulas, and functions.
● Text Cells can contain text, such as letters, numbers, and dates.
●
8 GOOGLE TOOLS TO USE IN CLASSROOM
● Formatting attributes Cells can contain formatting attributes that change the way letters, numbers, and dates are displayed. For example, percentages can appear as 0.15 or 15%. You can even change a cell's background color.
●
● Formulas and functions Cells can contain formulas and functions that calculate cell values. In our example, SUM(B2:B8) adds the value of each cell in cell range B2:B8 and displays the total in cell B9.
● To select cells: To input or edit cell content, you'll first need to select the cell.
1. Click a cell to select it.
2. A blue box will appear around the selected cell.
3. *You can also select cells using the arrow keys on your keyboard.

1. Select the cells you want to copy. 2. Press Ctrl+C (Windows) or Command+C (Mac) on your keyboard to copy the cells.
3. Select the cell or cells where you want to paste the cells. The copied cells will now have a box around them.
4.

1. Select the cells you want to cut.
2. 3. Press Ctrl+X (Windows) or Command+X (Mac) on your keyboard to cut the cells. The
cell content will remain in its original location until the cells are pasted. 4. Select the cell or cells where you want to paste the cells.

14 GOOGLE TOOLS TO USE IN CLASSROOM
To use the fill handle: There may be times when you want to copy the content of one cell to several other cells in your spreadsheet. You could copy and paste the content into each cell, but this method would be time consuming. Instead, you can use the fill handle to quickly copy and paste content from one cell to any other cells in the same row or column.
1. Select the cell you want to use. A small square—known as the fill handle—will appear in the bottomright corner of the cell.
2. Hover the mouse over the fill handle. The cursor will change to a black cross.
3.
4. Click, hold, and drag the fill handle over the cells you want to fill. A dotted black line will appear around the cells that will be filled.
5.
6. Release the mouse to fill the selected cells.
7.

Using the fill handle to continue a series The fill handle can also be used to continue a series. Whenever the content of a row or column follows a sequential order—like numbers (1, 2, 3) or days (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday)—the fill handle will guess what should come next in the series. In our example below, the fill handle is used to extend a series of dates in a column.

Google Docs
Creating new files Google Drive gives you access to a suite of tools that allows you to create and edit a variety of files, including documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. There are five types of files you can create on Google Drive:
● Documents: For composing letters, flyers, essays, and other textbased files (similar to Microsoft Word documents)
● Spreadsheets: For storing and organizing information (similar to Microsoft Excel workbooks)
● Presentations: For creating slideshows (similar to Microsoft PowerPoint presentations)
● Forms: For collecting and organizing data ● Drawings: For creating simple vector graphics or diagrams
To create a new file: 1. From Google Drive, locate and select the New button, then choose the type of file you
want to create. In our example, we'll select Google Docs to create a new document.

others (through email or posting online). Anyone who has that link can click it and view your presentation.
