Learn the Basics of Google Drive

Learn the Basics of Google Drive 

by Suzanne Barker, Learning Liaison

GCISD is a Google Apps for Education.   As part of this, every student in GCISD has access to Google Drive and other tools.  Throughout the year, we work to teach our students how to use their digital tools more effectively.  Earlier this school year, we shared a Blendspace with our students to help them understand better how to use their Drive.  We would like to share this resource with our parents and community as well.  Check out this resource and see how you can help support your child with this resource or start to use this tool for your own personal use! (While you are learning about Google Drive, take note of how Blendspace works.  Many of our classrooms use this digital tool to share learning with their students as well.)

Thank you, Janie Stach, coordinator for Instructional Technology, for your assistance in building this resource.
