If youre going to be working with a lot of

students in a class colleagues or simply

managing many docs proper

management of the document is the key

Some key points for keeping your

Documents manageable and accessible

Image 9 Organize Drive

March 1 2013 GOOGLE DRIVE

P a g e | 13 A report by ETR RRC |wwedtechreviewin | wwwedtechreviewco

bull One of the key thing while creating a

document is that make sure you give

each document a clear and easily

recognizable name and assign or

positioned that document in correct

folder so that next time when you

want to view it you can find it with

ease It saves a lot of time and this is

a good practice

bull When youre done with a class a

project or a specific set of documents

(for example - at the end of a

semester) hide or trash these docs

This will ensure that your Documents

list isnt overrun by documents youre

no longer using

bull Filtering (Sorting) documents lets

you hide unimportant files and focus

only on the ones youre interested in

For example if you were looking for

a presentation you could use a filter

to narrow down your visible files so

that you would only see the

presentations and related document

Google drive provides solution to this

dilemma as G-Drive allows people to

collaborate real time while working

on a single document irrespective of

the place and location For example ndash

My classmates and I always get

together a night before our exams to

combine our notes and share ideas

so why not do it in real time I work

with friends to take class notes on a

single Google document allowing

everyone to come up with ideas

leading to better understanding of the

topics

2 Save major assignments in the

cloud

Writing important papers in Google

Drive allows students like me to

access assignments and papers from

any computer anywhere Also with

Google Drive now all of my

assignments are stored in the cloud

means I donrsquot have scattered notes

files document because all are in

proper named folder in Google drive

12 Google Drive has found a way to

make it easy for students to take

notes in class offering an Equations

editor for adding equations onto their

documents

13 Easy to attach anywhere by using a

URL of a document you can embed

or publish it anywhere including

Facebook or a web based class blog

anyone who is currently editing the

document and if needed send a

to access document when shared a

document with Google drive allow

editing without signing in Itrsquos as

simple as sharing a document with

classmates who donrsquot have a Google

login but still has the document

available for editing

18 While collaboration and working on

projects we often create multiple

revision copies of a document and

share with each other over e-mail

document and keep track of the

revision even during collaborative

editing

If youre going to be working with a lot of

students in a class colleagues or simply

managing many docs proper

management of the document is the key

Some key points for keeping your

Documents manageable and accessible

as per your needs

Image 9 Organize Drive

March 1 2013 GOOGLE DRIVE

P a g e | 13 A report by ETR RRC |wwedtechreviewin | wwwedtechreviewco

bull One of the key thing while creating a

document is that make sure you give

each document a clear and easily

recognizable name and assign or

positioned that document in correct

folder so that next time when you

want to view it you can find it with

ease It saves a lot of time and this is

a good practice

bull When youre done with a class a

project or a specific set of documents

(for example - at the end of a

semester) hide or trash these docs

This will ensure that your Documents

list isnt overrun by documents youre

no longer using

bull Filtering (Sorting) documents lets

you hide unimportant files and focus

only on the ones youre interested in

For example if you were looking for

a presentation you could use a filter

to narrow down your visible files so

that you would only see the

presentations and related document

dilemma as G-Drive allows people to

collaborate real time while working

on a single document irrespective of

the place and location For example ndash

My classmates and I always get

together a night before our exams to

combine our notes and share ideas

so why not do it in real time I work

with friends to take class notes on a

single Google document allowing

everyone to come up with ideas

leading to better understanding of the

topics

2 Save major assignments in the

cloud

Writing important papers in Google

Drive allows students like me to

access assignments and papers from

any computer anywhere Also with

Google Drive now all of my

assignments are stored in the cloud

12 Google Drive has found a way to

make it easy for students to take

notes in class offering an Equations

editor for adding equations onto their

documents

13 Easy to attach anywhere by using a

URL of a document you can embed

or publish it anywhere including

Facebook or a web based class blog

to access document when shared a

document with Google drive allow

editing without signing in Itrsquos as

simple as sharing a document with

classmates who donrsquot have a Google

projects we often create multiple

revision copies of a document and

share with each other over e-mail

document and keep track of the

revision even during collaborative

students in a class colleagues or simply

managing many docs proper

management of the document is the key

Some key points for keeping your

Documents manageable and accessible

Image 9 Organize Drive

March 1 2013 GOOGLE DRIVE

P a g e | 13 A report by ETR RRC |wwedtechreviewin | wwwedtechreviewco

bull One of the key thing while creating a

document is that make sure you give

each document a clear and easily

recognizable name and assign or

positioned that document in correct

folder so that next time when you

want to view it you can find it with

ease It saves a lot of time and this is

a good practice

bull When youre done with a class a

project or a specific set of documents

(for example - at the end of a

semester) hide or trash these docs

This will ensure that your Documents

list isnt overrun by documents youre

no longer using

bull Filtering (Sorting) documents lets

you hide unimportant files and focus

only on the ones youre interested in

For example if you were looking for

a presentation you could use a filter

to narrow down your visible files so

that you would only see the

presentations and related document

dilemma as G-Drive allows people to

collaborate real time while working

on a single document irrespective of

the place and location For example ndash

My classmates and I always get

together a night before our exams to

combine our notes and share ideas

so why not do it in real time I work

with friends to take class notes on a

single Google document allowing

everyone to come up with ideas

leading to better understanding of the

topics

2 Save major assignments in the

cloud

Writing important papers in Google

Drive allows students like me to

access assignments and papers from

any computer anywhere Also with

Google Drive now all of my

assignments are stored in the cloud

means I donrsquot have scattered notes

files document because all are in

12 Google Drive has found a way to

make it easy for students to take

notes in class offering an Equations

editor for adding equations onto their

documents

13 Easy to attach anywhere by using a

URL of a document you can embed

or publish it anywhere including

Facebook or a web based class blog

anyone who is currently editing the

document and if needed send a

to access document when shared a

document with Google drive allow

editing without signing in Itrsquos as

simple as sharing a document with

classmates who donrsquot have a Google

login but still has the document

available for editing

18 While collaboration and working on

projects we often create multiple

revision copies of a document and

share with each other over e-mail

document and keep track of the

revision even during collaborative

If youre going to be working with a lot of

students in a class colleagues or simply

managing many docs proper

management of the document is the key

Some key points for keeping your

Documents manageable and accessible

Image 9 Organize Drive

March 1 2013 GOOGLE DRIVE

P a g e | 13 A report by ETR RRC |wwedtechreviewin | wwwedtechreviewco

bull One of the key thing while creating a

document is that make sure you give

each document a clear and easily

recognizable name and assign or

positioned that document in correct

folder so that next time when you

want to view it you can find it with

ease It saves a lot of time and this is

a good practice

bull When youre done with a class a

project or a specific set of documents

(for example - at the end of a

semester) hide or trash these docs

This will ensure that your Documents

list isnt overrun by documents youre

no longer using

bull Filtering (Sorting) documents lets

you hide unimportant files and focus

only on the ones youre interested in

For example if you were looking for

a presentation you could use a filter

to narrow down your visible files so

that you would only see the

presentations and related document

dilemma as G-Drive allows people to

collaborate real time while working

on a single document irrespective of

the place and location For example ndash

My classmates and I always get

together a night before our exams to

combine our notes and share ideas

so why not do it in real time I work

with friends to take class notes on a

single Google document allowing

everyone to come up with ideas

leading to better understanding of the

topics

2 Save major assignments in the

cloud

Writing important papers in Google

access assignments and papers from

any computer anywhere Also with

assignments are stored in the cloud

make it easy for students to take

notes in class offering an Equations

editor for adding equations onto their

documents

If youre going to be working with a lot of

students in a class colleagues or simply

managing many docs proper

management of the document is the key

Some key points for keeping your

Documents manageable and accessible

as per your needs

Image 9 Organize Drive

March 1 2013 GOOGLE DRIVE

P a g e | 13 A report by ETR RRC |wwedtechreviewin | wwwedtechreviewco

bull One of the key thing while creating a

document is that make sure you give

each document a clear and easily

recognizable name and assign or

positioned that document in correct

folder so that next time when you

want to view it you can find it with

ease It saves a lot of time and this is

a good practice

bull When youre done with a class a

project or a specific set of documents

(for example - at the end of a

semester) hide or trash these docs

This will ensure that your Documents

list isnt overrun by documents youre

no longer using

bull Filtering (Sorting) documents lets

you hide unimportant files and focus

only on the ones youre interested in

For example if you were looking for

a presentation you could use a filter

to narrow down your visible files so

that you would only see the

presentations and related document

My classmates and I always get

together a night before our exams to

combine our notes and share ideas

with friends to take class notes on a

single Google document allowing

everyone to come up with ideas

leading to better understanding of the

topics

make it easy for students to take

notes in class offering an Equations

editor for adding equations onto their

documents

VII Organize your docs

If youre going to be working with a lot of

students in a class colleagues or simply

managing many docs proper

management of the document is the key

Some key points for keeping your

Documents manageable and accessible

each class group of students project

etc As you have the option to add one

as per your needs

Image 9 Organize Drive

March 1 2013 GOOGLE DRIVE

P a g e | 13 A report by ETR RRC |wwedtechreviewin | wwwedtechreviewco

bull One of the key thing while creating a

document is that make sure you give

each document a clear and easily

recognizable name and assign or

positioned that document in correct

folder so that next time when you

want to view it you can find it with

ease It saves a lot of time and this is

a good practice

bull When youre done with a class a

project or a specific set of documents

(for example - at the end of a

semester) hide or trash these docs

This will ensure that your Documents

list isnt overrun by documents youre

no longer using

bull Filtering (Sorting) documents lets

you hide unimportant files and focus

only on the ones youre interested in

For example if you were looking for

a presentation you could use a filter

to narrow down your visible files so

that you would only see the

presentations and related document

dilemma as G-Drive allows people to

collaborate real time while working

on a single document irrespective of

the place and location For example ndash

My classmates and I always get

together a night before our exams to

combine our notes and share ideas

so why not do it in real time I work

with friends to take class notes on a

single Google document allowing

everyone to come up with ideas

leading to better understanding of the

topics

2 Save major assignments in the

cloud

Writing important papers in Google

Drive allows students like me to

access assignments and papers from

any computer anywhere Also with

assignments are stored in the cloud

VII Organize your docs

If youre going to be working with a lot of

students in a class colleagues or simply

managing many docs proper

management of the document is the key

Some key points for keeping your

Documents manageable and accessible

bull Create a folder with proper name for

each class group of students project

etc As you have the option to add one

document to multiple folders you can

cross-categorize the document to

multiple-class and multiple purposes

as per your needs

Image 9 Organize Drive

March 1 2013 GOOGLE DRIVE

P a g e | 13 A report by ETR RRC |wwedtechreviewin | wwwedtechreviewco

bull One of the key thing while creating a

document is that make sure you give

each document a clear and easily

recognizable name and assign or

positioned that document in correct

folder so that next time when you

want to view it you can find it with

ease It saves a lot of time and this is

a good practice

bull When youre done with a class a

project or a specific set of documents

(for example - at the end of a

semester) hide or trash these docs

This will ensure that your Documents

list isnt overrun by documents youre

no longer using

bull Filtering (Sorting) documents lets

you hide unimportant files and focus

only on the ones youre interested in

For example if you were looking for

a presentation you could use a filter

to narrow down your visible files so

that you would only see the

presentations and related document

Student always has dilemma that how

me and my classmates can create a

document with everybodyrsquos

involvement at the same time And

Google drive provides solution to this

dilemma as G-Drive allows people to

collaborate real time while working

on a single document irrespective of

the place and location For example ndash

My classmates and I always get

together a night before our exams to

combine our notes and share ideas

so why not do it in real time I work

with friends to take class notes on a

single Google document allowing

everyone to come up with ideas

leading to better understanding of the

topics

2 Save major assignments in the

cloud

Writing important papers in Google

Drive allows students like me to

access assignments and papers from

any computer anywhere Also with

Google Drive now all of my

assignments are stored in the cloud

means I donrsquot have scattered notes

files document because all are in

proper named folder in Google drive

them

12 Google Drive has found a way to

make it easy for students to take

notes in class offering an Equations

editor for adding equations onto their

documents

13 Easy to attach anywhere by using a

URL of a document you can embed

or publish it anywhere including

Facebook or a web based class blog

15 In Google Drive Students can see

anyone who is currently editing the

document and if needed send a

message over chat to them

friends classmates and professors

17 Students donrsquot have Google account

to access document when shared a

document with Google drive allow

editing without signing in Itrsquos as

simple as sharing a document with

classmates who donrsquot have a Google

login but still has the document

available for editing

18 While collaboration and working on

projects we often create multiple

revision copies of a document and

share with each other over e-mail

This leads to a chunk of document

which is hard to manage Google

Drive allows you to have a single

document and keep track of the

revision even during collaborative

editing

document is that make sure you give

each document a clear and easily

recognizable name and assign or

positioned that document in correct

folder so that next time when you

want to view it you can find it with

ease It saves a lot of time and this is

a good practice

bull When youre done with a class a

project or a specific set of documents

(for example - at the end of a

semester) hide or trash these docs

This will ensure that your Documents

list isnt overrun by documents youre

no longer using

bull Filtering (Sorting) documents lets

you hide unimportant files and focus

only on the ones youre interested in

For example if you were looking for

a presentation you could use a filter

to narrow down your visible files so

that you would only see the

presentations and related document

VII Organize your docs

If youre going to be working with a lot of

students in a class colleagues or simply

managing many docs proper

management of the document is the key

Some key points for keeping your

Documents manageable and accessible

bull Create a folder with proper name for

each class group of students project

etc As you have the option to add one

document to multiple folders you can

cross-categorize the document to

multiple-class and multiple purposes

as per your needs

Image 9 Organize Drive

March 1 2013 GOOGLE DRIVE

P a g e | 13 A report by ETR RRC |wwedtechreviewin | wwwedtechreviewco

bull One of the key thing while creating a

document is that make sure you give

each document a clear and easily

recognizable name and assign or

positioned that document in correct

folder so that next time when you

want to view it you can find it with

ease It saves a lot of time and this is

a good practice

bull When youre done with a class a

project or a specific set of documents

(for example - at the end of a

semester) hide or trash these docs

This will ensure that your Documents

list isnt overrun by documents youre

no longer using

bull Filtering (Sorting) documents lets

you hide unimportant files and focus

only on the ones youre interested in

For example if you were looking for

a presentation you could use a filter

to narrow down your visible files so

that you would only see the

presentations and related document

bull One of the key thing while creating a

document is that make sure you give

each document a clear and easily

recognizable name and assign or

positioned that document in correct

folder so that next time when you

want to view it you can find it with

ease It saves a lot of time and this is

a good practice

bull When youre done with a class a

project or a specific set of documents

(for example - at the end of a

semester) hide or trash these docs

This will ensure that your Documents

list isnt overrun by documents youre

no longer using

bull Filtering (Sorting) documents lets

you hide unimportant files and focus

only on the ones youre interested in

For example if you were looking for

a presentation you could use a filter

to narrow down your visible files so

that you would only see the

presentations and related document

1 Work together on group projects

Student always has dilemma that how

me and my classmates can create a

document with everybodyrsquos

involvement at the same time And

Google drive provides solution to this

dilemma as G-Drive allows people to

collaborate real time while working

on a single document irrespective of

the place and location For example ndash

My classmates and I always get

together a night before our exams to

combine our notes and share ideas

so why not do it in real time I work

with friends to take class notes on a

single Google document allowing

everyone to come up with ideas

leading to better understanding of the

topics

2 Save major assignments in the

cloud

Writing important papers in Google

Drive allows students like me to

access assignments and papers from

any computer anywhere Also with

Google Drive now all of my

assignments are stored in the cloud

means I donrsquot have scattered notes

files document because all are in

proper named folder in Google drive

them

that student can use according to

their requirements Using these pre-

built templates they can give

professional or cool look to their

documents or presentations

research information they ask for

opinions in their school or college

project and they get puzzled up while

managing the papers and questions

and the answers that they get By

creating Forms using the Google

Drive itrsquos just a game and they just

have to decide the questions to be

asked and put them into forms For a

student many prebuilt templates are

there to choose from for the form

layout

pretty much everything yoursquove

created or edited Also you can search

your drive documents into Gmail by

12 Google Drive has found a way to

make it easy for students to take

notes in class offering an Equations

editor for adding equations onto their

documents

13 Easy to attach anywhere by using a

URL of a document you can embed

or publish it anywhere including

Facebook or a web based class blog

Note The document is shared with

the permission that are set from the

share document settings

anyone who is currently editing the

document and if needed send a

message over chat to them

to access document when shared a

document with Google drive allow

editing without signing in Itrsquos as

simple as sharing a document with

classmates who donrsquot have a Google

login but still has the document

available for editing

18 While collaboration and working on

projects we often create multiple

revision copies of a document and

share with each other over e-mail

This leads to a chunk of document

which is hard to manage Google

Drive allows you to have a single

document and keep track of the

revision even during collaborative

editing

results you can just Quick View them

you just canrsquot spell to save your life

set up a preference to automatically

find and replace your mistakes with

correctly spelled words

plane or anywhere you plan to go

without an internet connection

account Turn any web page into a

PDF for viewing later by using the

send to Google Doc extension for

If youre going to be working with a lot of

students in a class colleagues or simply

managing many docs proper

management of the document is the key

Some key points for keeping your

bull One of the key thing while creating a

document is that make sure you give

each document a clear and easily

recognizable name and assign or

positioned that document in correct

folder so that next time when you

want to view it you can find it with

ease It saves a lot of time and this is

a good practice

bull When youre done with a class a

project or a specific set of documents

(for example - at the end of a

semester) hide or trash these docs

This will ensure that your Documents

list isnt overrun by documents youre

no longer using

bull Filtering (Sorting) documents lets

you hide unimportant files and focus

only on the ones youre interested in

For example if you were looking for

a presentation you could use a filter

to narrow down your visible files so

that you would only see the

presentations and related document

bull One of the key thing while creating a

document is that make sure you give

each document a clear and easily

recognizable name and assign or

positioned that document in correct

folder so that next time when you

want to view it you can find it with

ease It saves a lot of time and this is

a good practice

bull When youre done with a class a

project or a specific set of documents

(for example - at the end of a

semester) hide or trash these docs

This will ensure that your Documents

list isnt overrun by documents youre

no longer using

bull Filtering (Sorting) documents lets

you hide unimportant files and focus

only on the ones youre interested in

For example if you were looking for

a presentation you could use a filter

to narrow down your visible files so

that you would only see the

presentations and related document
