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.
