This month our TLP-C session is on Google Drive. ACPS has begun introducing this amazing digital tool over the last two years and it has proven to be incredibly useful and dynamic.
Jim Draper, Technology Integration Specialist at George Washington Middle School will be sharing with us exactly what makes Google Drive so great. You will learn how to:
- Organize your digital files
- Collaborate with others on documents and presentations
- Create forms that self-grade
- Create lessons that make sharing, collaboration and revision worlds easier.
Join us this Thursday, April 24th from 4 to 5pm EST (Click here to find out when the event is in your timezone!). Use this link to participate. We welcome everyone!

If you have already been using Google Drive as a professional or with students, please join us and share your tips and tricks. Hearing how other teachers are using Google Drive in the classroom will add so much to the conversation. And, if you have only a vague sense of what Google Drive is, this is a great chance to learn more.
I have been using Google Drive for the past 2 months and am eager to learn more of its features. It is wonderful to have documents and files on any computer and to be able to share with others.
I love the sharing and editing feature on Google drive. Students are able to collaborate and edit the same document with their team members on projects. This tool is a great enhancement for the writing process in our digital age, students can peer-edit and students can instantly see the tracking and changes as they occur. Students can then use the feedback to self-edit on the spot vs. receiving feedback on paper and remembering it for later that night.
I am new to Google Drive, but I can’t wait to use it more often with my students. One idea we have at our school is to create individual Data plans in which students can record their current data (tests, assessments, etc.) and set up goals to improve their skills. We would have to update it every week, and I am thinking that Google Drive could really help us with this process.
