Sharing documents
Students can share their documents or presentations with the teacher and allow the teacher to ‘comment’ and view
Challenge #1Beginner: Create a document, enter text and insert an image. Share the doc with a friend in the room- with ‘editing’ enabled. Share an idea of how to use docs.
Intermediate: Upload an existing document from your school files and convert it to a PDF. Help your neighbor.
Advanced: Upload an existing document, convert to a Google Doc. Upload a folder. Share with a co-teacher.
Good to know:-Only files that are ‘not’ converted to Google Docs will count against your 30 GB storage
-you can convert documents at a later time (right click and ‘open with’…)
-You can upload entire folders and subfolder organization remains the same
