Tech Tips

To scan documents on your iPhone, go the Home screen and open Notes. Tap the + icon at the bottom of the page, and select Scan Documents from the list of the options. This should launch your phone's camera. When the camera detects the document you want to scan, it will highlight it in yellow on the screen.  You can then upload directly to your Google Drive.

Open the Google Drive app.  In the bottom right, tap Add.  Tap Scan.  Take a photo of the document you'd like to scan. Adjust scan area: Tap Crop. Take photo again: Tap Re-scan current page. Scan another page: Tap Add.  To save the finished document, tap Done.

Log into Google Chrome using your school account.  Your school icon should be in the upper right hand corner.  If it's not there, click on the icon that is there then ADD your school account.

Once you are logged into Google Chrome with your school account, you can use the waffle to access McGraw-Hill just like you do in school.

Create a folder for each class in your google drive to help organize your files.  Make sure to save work in the appropriate folder (you can even do folders for each chapter within your class folder).  Use colors to highlight specific folders.  Right click on the folder.  Choose Change Color.  Don't leave files as unnamed.  If there are files you will use a lot (like your notebook for math class), click the star next to the name of the file when it is open.  Starred files are easier to get to because they are organized with preference over other files that aren't used as often.
