Google Drive has some wonderful features that enhance collaborative and group work. The video below by Andrew Boan walks you through the different collaborative features in Drive and shows you how to use each one of them. Some of the things Boan covers in this tutorial include:
- How to create a shared folder
- How to share the folder with others
- Add a file to a shared folder
- Upload a file directly into the shared folder
- How to create and share a new document in shared folder
- How to work collaboratively on a document
One of the great feature I love about Google Drive is the ability to share shared folders with others. You can easily create a shared folder and share it with your students. Anytime you add something to this folder, all students will be able to see it instantly in their Drive. You can use shared folder to share assignments, learning materials, documents, and videos with your students. In this way you will not have to worry if every student has got a copy for they can all access it in their Drives. Here is a step by step guide on how to create a shared folder on Google Drive.
