The first step in any class project is to have students create their document, presentation, or spreadsheet, and have them share it with you as the teacher immediately. This allows teachers to monitor and support students through the entire process. -Share a file:GAFE key to success: You can share folders with other people. The sharing permissions that you set for the folder will be applied to everything inside of it. Common default is “view only”. The folder settings will be in addition to preexisting share settings set at the file level. -Get in the habit of placing files in the correct folder when naming/starting a new project:GAFE key to success: Notice the folder icon on the top of this Google Doc. Clicking on the folder allows you to assign and tag where the document/file will show up on your drive. Naming your file and placing in the correct folder should become second nature 1st steps for you and your students! -When sharing files or folders should I “Notify people via email - Add message”GAFE key to success: If you are closely collaborating you may decide to choose “yes”. For most instances with students you will want the notification turned off. This will save unnecessary e-mails. -Move or tag files within your Drive:GAFE key to success: Hold Ctrl and click on files to place in multiple folders when organizing/moving files. Note-if you delete the file from one folder the file will be deleted from other folders as well. Use the move folder tool to remove from a folder. Files not assigned a folder will be in the Drive. If a folder is moved from a shared folder the other people with shared folder access will lose access to the file! Only file owners can permanently delete a file! -Create a class folder that all students can add and edit:If you assign default edit rights to your shared folder students can rearrange, save, edit, add and access content within the folder. For some teachers and students this will not be a problem. If you are worried about such open access see the description for the individual student work folder below. Note: You can also go in and assign permission for individual files. A single shared class folder for turning in and editing work leads to many lost files, plagiarism worries and general file confusion!
