A New Excellent Google Drive Guide for Teachers and Students

June 16, 2014
I don't want you to miss this wonderful resource on how to be a Google Drive master. This is basically a Google Doc that features a plethora of video tutorials and activities related to each tool in Google Drive. The main objectives of this guide is to help teachers and students leverage the power of Google Drive tool in education. It provides them with video tutorials covering each of the Drive applications ( Google Doc, Presentation, Drawing,  and Google Forms ) and with each of these videos is an attached activity that should be completed to show mastery of the topic under discussion. I have spent sometime going through these tutorials and activities and I found them really helpful. All thanks go back to Vicki Davis through whom I learned about this resource ( by the way Vicki has recently published a new book entitled " Reinventing Writing: The 9 Tools That Are Changing Writing, Teaching, and Learning Forever"
