Explore Google Drive

Automatically, every time you create a Google Apps file it is saved in Google Drive. To find your files, go to drive.google.com.

Click on Recent

On the left hand side click on Recent.

Single Click on a File

If you single click on a file in Google Drive some menu options come up. Be familiar with the toolbar along the top. Hover over each icon to see what they do. Do not forget to click on the 3 dots menu!

P for Preview

Single click and press P for preview.

Preview is super helpful since it loads faster than opening the file. This is especially handy when reviewing student work. Use the right arrow to go to the next file.

Last Opened by Me

When in a folder or My Drive you can sort the files. Click on “Name” to sort by document title.

Next to “Last modified” is a tiny triangle. Click on this to sort “Last opened by me.”

Sort files both by “Last modified” and “Last opened by me.” Both give you valuable information to help you provide students feedback.
