Google Drive Resources
Over the years, I have found Google Drive to be an invaluable resource in and out of the classroom, for three key reasons. First, it helps eliminate unnecessary paper waste, as all assignments in some of my classes are submitted via this resource. Second, students are able to collaborate with each other in a real-time manner, which provides greater communication. Such collaboration can happen not just between students in the same class, but also across the world. Finally, Google Drive allows the teacher to provide meaningful feedback and have conversations with students in the process, even when they are not in the classroom. The following resources will help you learn more about the various ways you can use Google Drive in your classroom.
