3. Getting Started
Parents
Communicate with
Parents about what
Google Drive is and
what it can do.
Students

4. Sharing Folders
Create a Folder and using the pop down menu, choose share.

5. 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.

6. Sharing Folders
I created 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.

7. 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.

8. Great feature -- Research Tool
A great feature with great
possibilities…..with a little
risk thrown in.
School filters will not work
when using the Research
Tool.
Great way to teach Digital
Citizenship
