Google Drive

These activities have been created to allow you to put into practice the skills listed under each skill level. The only way to become proficient in the use of Google is to actually put it into regular use.

Google Drive Level One Practice Activity

Create a new folder in your Google Drive called "Collaboration". Change the share settings of this folder giving "edit" rights to a person you often collaborate with during the school year. Move some files into this folder that the two (or more) of you can work on together this school year. This can be a great place to include things you are working on during TBT time or to collaborate on an upcoming project.

Google Drive Level Two Practice Activity

Create a new folder in your Google Drive called "Sandbox". Open up Microsoft Word and create an new document called "Parent Newsletter" (you can leave it blank if you want). Go back into Google Drive and change the settings of Drive to automatically change any uploaded file to the "Google Docs Editor Format". Upload the "Parent Newsletter" word document into the "Sandbox" folder. From within Drive change the sharing settings on the document so the link generated by drive will be accessible to anyone who has the link that is outside our domain.

If this was a real "Parent Newsletter" template, you could add a "Star" to the document that would make it easier for you to find it quickly.

Google Drive Level Three Practice Activity

Create a new folder in your Google Drive called "Collaboration". Change the share settings of this folder giving "edit" rights to a person you often collaborate with during the school year. Move some files into this folder that the two (or more) of you can work on together this school year.
