Creating Shared Folders with Students in Google Drive

Cluttered tables, scattered books, and piles of papers can easily change the climate of a classroom from calm and inviting to chaotic and stressful. Like most teachers, I would stress the importance of maintaining an organized desk, workspace, and classroom.  I always found it valuable to take the time at the beginning of the school year to model creating folders and organizing binders for each subject to help my 5th graders keep track of their papers and avoid the panicked looks when I would say "Take out your math worksheet from yesterday."

As we move to a more digital learning environment, students still need to learn the skills to organize and manage a digital workspace.  With the the implementation of Google in the Park Hill School District, managing and sharing a digital workspace between teachers and students is easy.
