Google Drive Updates

Two updates have hit our district Google Apps for Education account recently

1. A streamlined interface for each of the programs (Docs, Slides, etc...).


2. A widescreen option for Slides.

You can read more about each of these updates on the Google Drive blog here.

For those of you who use mind maps with your students, here is an article that discusses how Google Drawings can be used to make these collaborative and conducive to feedback.

H: Drive Storage

A reminder that your district H: drive has 3.5GB.  Once this amount is reached, editing, saving, and even deleting is restricted.  You can check your storage space by selecting all of your folders in your H: drive, right clicking, choosing Properties, and viewing the size of the selection.



If you reach your limit, please fill out a helpdesk ticket to resolve the issue.

If you are interested in more space, we recommend downloading the Google Drive app to your machine, and transferring your files.  More more information about Google Drive, contact your building technology coach, or the district instructional technology coach assigned to your building.  You may also read more about it here and here.
