Google Drive Organization Trevor Tesar 6 th /7 th Grade Science Lakeridge Junior High School

Why Organize Google Drive? Makes my life easier Less asking “what did we do last class?” Less asking “Was there homework?” Less late night s asking for homework assignments Keeps ME organized. Sharing information with students, parents, colleagues is simplified.

Where Do I Start? “I have 20+ years in my H Drive. How can I move this into my Google Drive?” Do what works for you. What I show you today, works for me but maybe not you.
