Scenario: You plan to make a learning project for students on a specific topic (think of a topic that would be relevant to what you teach or use 'honeybees'). You are going to collect resources in a Google Drive Folder.
Complete the following:
Create a folder in your Drive called Lesson Resources
Do an advanced Google Search for a PDF file type (filetype:pdf honeybees)*
Download that file and upload it directly to your new folder.
Do an advanced image search for a image file that is free to use for your topic.
Extend the search by color & file type.
Download the image and upload to your Lesson Resources folder.
Go to books.google.com. Find a book about honeybees.
Copy the link and email it to your colleague, ggrundy@amtechnology.org
Share your Lesson Plan folder with Geraldine Grundy and give her edit access.

'Scenario: You need to collect some scholarly articles and want to save the most useful ones for later in the Scholar Library.
Go to scholar.google.com
Search for articles about honey bees
In the results, 'select the star' to tag two articles for your Library.
Select My Library to locate your 'starred' articles
Check the boxes and create a label 'Honey Bees' for these articles.
Scenario: You want to share results of a Scholar search with your colleague with the MLA citations in an email message. You also want to set up an alert so you are notified when new articles are published about your topic.
1. Start a new search for Social Media
2. Share your search results via email with Geraldine Grundy and include one MLA Citation in the email by doing this:
Create an email message to ggrundy@amtechnology.org
Copy and Paste the URL of your scholar search results in the message.
Select the citation icon (❞) for one message
Copy & Paste the MLA Citation to the email
3. Create an alert in Google Scholar so you will get an email 'update' each time a new article matching this search is published.
