Using Google Drive

Google is a great tool with many uses! Google allows users to do various tasks, but my favorite and most useful Google tool is my Google Drive. With my Google Drive, I am able to create documents or spreadsheets, forms or surveys, drawings and presentations.  You may also upload a file from your computer and store it in your Google Drive. Not only can you create or upload files, but you can share and publish them. For example, I uploaded my resume to my Google drive and published it and it automatically created this website address, https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2cDGi0B-DV3RlhoVU5zRnJoV0k/edit?usp=sharing, which allows me to share my document with anyone.

This really is a great tool. When creating or uploading files using Google Drive, you can access them anywhere as long as they are saved in your drive. There has been many times where I forgot to print something out and did not have my laptop on me but was able to log into my Google account and print the document off of my Google Drive. I highly recommend playing around with the features on your Google account. If you do not have a Google account, I suggest you get one, you will not regret it. Google Drive is very easy and I did not have any problems when using it. It was easy to navigate through.

When using the share feature in Google Drive, you are following ISTE NETS-3, Model Digital-Age Work and Learning. You will primarily focus on communicating information to students, parents and colleagues as well as analyzing and evaluating data. ISTE NETS may vary depending on what part of the drive you use.
