🗄 Google Drive
🗄 Google Drive
Google Drive is where all of your Docs, Slides, Sheets, and Forms will live. In Eanes, teachers collaborate and share resources for student learning through the Drive.
Setting yourself up for success and keeping your drive organized is essential. Check out the slides to the right for some video tutorials showcasing some best practices and organization tips.
Shared Drives are special folders in Google Drive that you can use to store, search, and access files with a team. Shared drive files belong to the team instead of an individual. Even if members leave, the files stay in the shared drive so your team can keep sharing information and work anywhere, from any device. Eanes ISD will be piloting Shared Drives with K-5 teachers for the 2023-24 school year.
