Google drive

​
​Google Drive is a cloud-based tool to help you be successful. Your work saves automatically and follows you from device to device! You can even share your work with classmates and teachers. It contains many useful apps you will use this year.
  Some of the most common ones:
  • Docs: word processing 
  • Slides: presentations
  • Sheets: spreadsheets
  • Drawings: image editing and creation
  • Sites: website building
  • Classroom: class management system​
Tip: What "lives" in your Drive is only accessible by you! If you need someone else to view it, you will need to share it.
​Most of your teachers will have you work in Classroom itself. Documents in Classroom are already shared with your teacher.
The following videos are from GCLearnFree.org. Their entire Google Drive and Docs playlist is very helpful.

Getting Started with Google Drive
Creating Files
​The video starts with going to Google & signing in, but once you log in to a Chromebook, you're automatically logged into Drive, so you can skip that step.
