Organize info in folders

I love being able to organize materials in google folders, and never thought of adding emojis to quickly view my folders. I think color coding folders and adding emojis will really help me to keep my digital files organized and easily accessible. I wasn't aware of how to convert a microsoft file into google drive and into a google doc so that was a helpful tip for me!

Colored Folder Organization and Shortcuts!

I love everything that Google Drive has to offer. Storing resources and instructional activities within my Google Drive has been life-changing. I like to organize folders regarding thematic learning, such as activities related to holidays and seasons with a color and an emoji. I also like to add shortcuts as a means of storing my resources within various folders. For example, an acorn themed phonics activity may be included in Fall and Phonics folders through the use of the shortcut feature.

This Google Drive presentation was very helpful to me for many reasons.  I have used Google Drive for many years, however, did not fully understand the different features I could use to organize my drive.  I worked on organizing folders that were duplicates and saving files where they belonged.  I saved shared folders in a space that I could easily access them.  I also liked the refresher on sharing folders and links with the privacy settings and using the “ viewer” and “editor” for others to use.

Emily Richey - Google Workspace Drive Level 1

My favorite feature of Drive is being able to add shortcuts to other documents in Drive into my own Google Drive folders. This will help me organize documents and folders that have been shared with me into my own drive, leading me to be able to better manage my documents and collaborate with other teachers. I also really like the feature where I can upload Microsoft documents into Google Drive and have them converted directly to Google Documents. This will help me easily be able to share documents as assignments to my students in Google Classroom. I am excited to be able to better organize my Google Drive so that my co-teacher and I can find documents easily and collaborate on assignments for our students.

I like the idea of color coding folders so that you can find resources quicker. I changed all my subject folders to the same colors as I have the students use for class. This is a good way to help my brain remember the colors and for me to quickly find what I am looking for.  I also love that you can share whole folders to team members. This makes sharing materials easy and efficient.

Organizing all the files on my drive has helped me tremendously!  Each year I am able to continuously add new documents or find old documents quickly and efficiently.  My favorite part is being able to color code the files to make it look more appealing.

My favorite feature of Drive is the ability to personalize folders for organization.  The ability to color code and add emojis to the labels makes organizing easier to recognize and access.  Being able to share files that are already created with subfolders with colleagues is a time-saving way to collaborate and share information from anywhere at any time.  This is a bonus when schedules to match and planning periods are not synced.

Organization

I really think creating and using folders and  and Shared Drives makes it easy to organize the mass amount of mail I receive. Organizing documents into folders and shared drives helps keep the important information easy to access. Organization is crucial for keeping teachers life manageable.

I love to organize all of the things and having a neat and tidy drive is motivating. I love the idea of emojis in titles and organizing by color.

Using Drive to share club documents

Drive has been helpful in sharing the work we need to do for the HS literary magazine. I collect submissions of art and writing from students via a Google Form, then I organize those submissions into a shared folder for the members of PULSE to review.
