Today's Tip:
Organize your Google Drive. As you wrap up the end of the quarter and semester in the next couple of weeks, this is a great time to organize your Google Drive. It's like cleaning out your closets every six months, not super fun in the moment but feels so good afterward!
Ideas to get you started:
- 13 Tips to Organize Your Google Drive I can actually say I do all 13 of these things, although they are definitely not for everyone. Pick just one or two to get started.
- Afraid of deleting files you will need later? Then don't delete files, we have plenty of storage available. Create a folder called Trash or Maybe I'll Need or Save for Later or whatever you would like and store the files there. Then your Google Drive won't be cluttered with things you may not need.
- Organize Files in Google Drive from Google's Applied Digital Skills curriculum. This is a whole lesson you can use with students to help students (and you!) organize your Google Drive. The format is: watch a video, practice the skill, watch the next video, and so on. The lesson has students work with fake Drive files, when I have done this with students I have had them skip the fake files and use the real ones they already have. If you would like, I can meet with you ahead of time to help you plan this or another Applied Digital Skills lesson. If you are planning one during 1st, 2nd, or 7th hours, I can come to your classroom to support your lesson or even lead one for your class.
