// Why should I allow my student sign up for a Gmail/ Google Drive account? //

Gmail has a component called “Drive” which is an online storage space where your child can upload documents and can share assignments with me through a shared folder. The student and I will only have access to the shared folder. Another benefit of a Gmail account or a Google Drive account is that the students can engage in paperless collaboration. Students can save and upload files and have access to them from any computer/device that has wireless capabilities.

How do I create a folder in my Google “Drive” and share it with Mrs. Billet?

1. To create a folder, open up your account and click on the word “Drive” in the middle of the page.

2. After clicking on Drive, go to the top left hand side of the screen and click on the folder with a “plus” sign. You will be asked to name the folder. Please title the folder with your first name, last name, and period. For example, “John Smith Period 5”.

3. After creating the folder, right click on the folder and select “Share”. Invite ebillet@methacton.org to share your folder and allow me to EDIT the folder.

Why am I asking to be allowed to EDIT the folder? If you make me an editor, I can provide you feedback on your assignment.

What should I in my folder that is shared with Mrs. Billet?

· Please only put assignments that are for reading class in our shared folder

· Anything that is for reading class or enrichment reading assignments that we have designed
