Edvertisement: Google Ate My Excuses

How to set this up

I believe that the best practice for setting up sharing with students in Google Drive is to have them create a folder for you class, and then share that folder with you. This normally takes 10 to 15 minutes at the beginning of the the subject.

Once the folder has been shared, anything that the student creates in that folder, you automatically have access to.

The video below show the steps needed to make this happen.

Tips: Resetting your student's passwords

At our College, students have a number of different passwords, and, inevitably, they will forget them from time to time. Fortunately, as a teacher, you have the ability to reset two of these.

When you do rest them, remind students their passwords will need at least:

• 8 characters
• An uppercase letter
• A lowercase letter
• A number
• A symbol (like * $ . ! etc)
