Activity 4: Google Suite

Google Drive is great because everything can be made available from any device that has access to the internet. Since I began teaching at Chip, I've been keeping all of my files on Drive. It's a great tool for the classroom because you can link projects and guidelines onto a web page and students/parents can access it at anytime. One drawback for me so far has been that I often forget to share the docs after posting and parents end up requesting access (I wish there was a prompt that came up when linking files). Parents also need to get use to this technology because many still email to request forms as opposed to going online and finding it for themselves; one of my goals is to streamline my web page this fall. 

Here is a presentation that I updated to use with Reader's Workshop in the fall.
