Applied Digital Skills is Google’s curriculum designed for late elementary to high school students that helps them learn practical technology skills while building projects using Google Workspace tools. It's a great resource for teachers who are looking to help their students learn the digital literacy skills they need to be successful in any number of careers and jobs available today or in the future, and it's completely free of charge. 

The curriculum uses video-based lessons, and students work both independently and collaboratively, much like with CS First. However, the content taught is unique and a separate experience from CS First. To learn more, visit g.co/AppliedDigitalSkills.
