What is Google Drive, and how can it help in the classroom? This is what we are going
to take a look at in this course. There is so much you can do with Google Drive that
we thought it would be helpful to start off with an overview of what Google Drive actually
is. Following that will be courses that go specifically into the details of using the
various features and apps in Google Drive. With Google Drive, you have access to documents
anytime, anywhere, not to mention all of your files are securely stored, allowing you to
access them with almost any device. From your smartphone, android device, iPad, computer,
you'll have no trouble finding your documents. You can think of it as an online filing cabinet
that doesn't take up any space in your home or your classroom. What's so great about Google
Drive is that you have the ability to create documents, presentations, spreadsheets, forms,
and so much more. The best part is it's free for schools and districts. Think of Google
Drive as much like other popular productivity suites: you can create and share with students,
parents, colleagues, and more. Let's go over what we will cover in this introduction to
Google Drive. We will start with an overview of Google Drive, then collaboration tools,
autosave and revision history, using templates, anytime and anywhere access, and sharing collections
with others. Get ready to open up the world of online tools and join us in this basic
course to using and effectively creating and managing your classroom with Google Drive.
