First, let’s define what
is Google Drive?

www.arlynkahanap.com

Google Drive is a free
online program
3

that allows users to
create documents,
4

spreadsheets
5

and presentations
online
6

and share them with
others for
collaboration.
7

This allows educators
8

and students to share
their work with others,
9

collaborate on
assignments,
10

and save documents
online
11

for access at school
12

or at home.
13

LET’S START!
14

Lesson 1
15

in order to use Google
Drive
16

you will need to
register for a Google
account.
17

If you already have one
through Gmail
18

then you can use the
same login
19

to access Google
Drive.
20

If you do not have a
Gmail account
21

you may want to
consider signing up for
one
22

so you can also use
the Gmail and
Calendar feature
23

within Google.
24

Otherwise ,
25

you can just sign up
for a Google account
26

with an email address of
your choice and a
password.
27

But do take note
that
28

this type of account does
not provide
29

the use of Gmail.
30

That while it's
possible to view a
document,
32

spreadsheet or
presentation without a
Google Account (via an
invitation),
33

you'll need to create a
Google Account
34

to edit the document,
spreadsheet or
presentation,
35

and to continue
accessing Google Drive.
36

Go to your browser
38

Go to
http://docs.google
.com
40

If you haven't already
signed up for an account
42

you should see this.
43

If you already have a
Google account
44

type in your email and
password to sign in.
45

Otherwise, click on
the Get Started button
47

to sign up with
Google.
48

Fill in all of the required
form fields
49

You will need to verify
your email address you
used
52

to create the account by
signing into it
53

and clicking on the link
that Google Drive sends
you.
54

You will be taken to a
page that looks similar
55

like this.

many other editing
options.
107

Sharing, Collaborating
and Publishing a
Document
108

A wonderful feature of
Google Drive
109

is the ability to share
your work with others.
110

You can give access to a
document
111

where the viewers are
only able to read the
document
112

and not make any
changes.
113

You can also give access
to a document where
people
114

can collaborate with you
by making changes.
115

You will be able to see
the changes
116

that each person has
made to your document.
117

Limits for documents
and presentations
118

200 combined viewers
and collaborators.
119

10 people may edit
and/or view at any given
time.
120

There is currently no
limit to the number of
people
121

with whom you can
share a spreadsheet.
122

However, only 50 people
can edit
123

a spreadsheet at the
same time.
124

Publishing a
Document
125

means that you will be
making it available
126

to anyone via the
Internet.
127

Printing a
Document
129

Open the document and
choose the Print link
130

on the right hand upper
corner between Preview
and Email.
131

Another option is to
click on the File button
133

on the Menu bar and
choose Print.
134

Copying a
Document
136

You will need to open
the document then
choose File
137

on the Menu bar
and Copy.
138

A confirmation message
will pop up. Click OK to
continue.
140

The file should now be
saved as "Copy of
<Filename>"
142

As you can see Google
Drive is easy to use
143

and very useful when
needing to share
documents with
others.
144

Google Drive opens the
door to collaboration
using technology.
145

If you cannot do great
