3. Introduction
 Cloud storage service to upload, share, edit, and
store files
 Launched in April 2012.
 Storage: 15 GB

4. Advantages of Google Drive:
 Large file (upto 10 GB) can be shared with
others
 Files can be accessed from anywhere
 Develop collaborative group projects
 Able to access with various devices
 Provides immediate feedback and peer-to-peer
support

5. Google Drive for Effective Teaching-Learning:
 Teacher can create files (docs, sheets, forms, slides, videos),
store, share and manage the content.
 Create a secure, efficient, flexible and permanent cloud based
open learning environment.
 We can create groups and forums for collaborative
works/discussions.

together on a piece of work in Google Docs, seeing changes in

(Pardeshi and Alliwadi)

6. A. Use of Google Drive in students’ Research
 Situation 1:
Students and their chairpersons/members exchange different
files(word, exel sheet etc.) of their thesis for correction via
emails.
 Problems :
 Students/teachers may sometimes lose track of the most
recently edited/corrected file.
 There may be too many copies of the same file to confuse the
students/teachers.
 They have to spend lot of time to search a particular email
from their inbox

7. How google drive can help overcome these problems:
 We don’t need to send the same file again and again.
 Once shared in GD, we can keep updating/editing
the file without sending it to the receiver.
 We can share the entire thesis/charts/photos and
other research materials in a single folder which is
not possible through email.

8. A. Use of Google Drive in students’ Research:
 Situation 2:
 Students send their research papers to their
chairpersons/members for correction/editing to publish in
journals through email.
 Problems :
 It consumes time to share the recently edited file to the rest
of the members for further editing.
 It lacks collaborative works and feedback from the
member(s) is difficult.

9. How google drive can help overcome the problems:
 Students, chairperson, members can work
collaboratively on the same file providing
immediate feedback from anywhere.

10. B. Google Drive for storing educational resources:
 Situation 1:
I. Students store their study material/videos/audios/ppt, etc. in
PC, laptop or any other external devices.
 Problems:
I. Students can’t access the files in absence of the device.
II. The device may not hold enough memory to store the file
.

11. How google drive can help overcome the problems:
 Students can store files(document, ppt, videos, etc.)
and they can be accessed from anywhere.
 Students can store the link of any videos or
Documents in GD

12. Other uses of Google drive:
 We can store important documents/certificates in google drive which can
be required anytime.
 We can share high resolution photos/vidoes without compromising with
the quality which is not possible in email.
 GD can also be helful in correcting and sharing students’
assignments/reports.

13. Other cloud storage services :
 Dropbox: The Granddaddy of cloud storage, it offers a rather measly
2GB of free storage.
 Mega: With an insanely generous free tier and a simple drag-and-
drop interface, New Zealand-based MEGA is one of the cloud storage
heavyweights.
 OneDrive: OneDrive (formerly SkyDrive) is integrated into Windows
10's file explorer. Convenient for those who have Microsoft’s newest
operating system.
