Getting Started
Parents
Communicate with
Parents about what
Google Drive is and
what it can do.
Information nights,
Newsletters, school
web page, etc.
Getting Started
Students
Make sure you have a
copy of students user
names and
passwords.
Create labels, index
cards, or business
cards with students
info for easy access.
Sharing Folders
Create a Folder and using the pop down menu, choose share.
Sharing Folders
Option 1: You can specify that anyone with the
link can access/view/edit the files within the
folder
OR
Option 2: You can invite people using their
email address to access/view/edit.
Sharing Folders
We create folders for
each of the grade level
teachers whose students
would be accessing
Google Drive regularly.
You can see easily which
folders have been shared
and which haven’t.
Sharing Folders
Another good idea is to
create a folder and share
it with students with Read
Only privileges. When
students open this
document they cannot
make changes. They will
need to “make a copy”
that is housed within their
Drive.
Student Folders
Each student creates a
folder within their classroom
folder. This helps with
organization and is a great
way for kids to turn in
finished projects.
Great feature -- Research Tool
A great feature with great
possibilities…..with a little
risk thrown in.
Can be found under Tools
menu.
School filters will not work
when using the Research
Tool.
Great way to teach Digital
Citizenship
