Connect Google Calendar to Data Studio

I loved how systematically the course material was organized! It was so easy to follow Chris' instructions for both Google Sheet Queries and Data Studio. And having access to sample data was immensely helpful - it allowed me to create my own dashboards as I moved forward in the course.

Chris is meticulous in explaining the formulas and setup of the various tabs in his example spreadsheets. I love how the training is focused on individuals in the education field.

The workshop gave me the impetus to get started with Google Data Studio and visualize data that we have been collecting for years. I now have several projects in the pipeline where we will create actionable visualizations to improve teaching and learning.

I would like to recognize Chris for keeping calm while keeping all the working parts moving. He has taken on a lot of responsibility to create consistency for the sake of the teachers. I can't imagine conferences and distance learning without his leadership.

Thank you for being so flexible and so supportive. Thank you for finding ways of explaining things in simple steps. Thanks for the hours of work to make things smooth for teachers and students. We don't see a lot of what you do but know that your work is truly appreciated.

Chris never hesitates to provide support! I appreciate his knowledge and he always seems to be able to make things less complicated. He is also a speedy communicator which is vital right now.
