Reflection

I love how I am able to share documents and folders with others on Google Drive! This sharing ability has been crucial for collaboration and communication between my co-teacher and me. I had my Google Drive organized in folders before this lesson, but I had not previously considered using emojis in names and never knew I could make them different colors! This is going to be great for organizing and recognizing where I want to go more quickly. Lately, I have been making shortcuts for different documents in my Drive and in Shared Drives, as I need to have them saved in multiple places and want everywhere it's saved to be up-to-date as soon as I make any changes. This is much more efficient than having multiple copies of the same document. I also have been making converting all of my homework assignments from PDFs to Google Docs - my students are able to edit the documents and submit assignments more easily this way.

I love organizing my files with folders. When I get a page where I have to scroll through my files I know it is time to create new folders. I like naming them with numbers so they are in the order I want them to be in. I like adding colors and emojis too. I also like using the organization option to move files where they belong. Also, using Google Docs is key! I have been slowly converting all my documents to Google Docs from Word. This is important for sharing documents to students in Google Classroom. I really like the setting to force all documents to automatically upload as Google Docs.
