I must admit that I am on the best grade level team in my district... maybe my state. Each and every one of the women on my team goes above and beyond to make learning fun and enriching for her students. As a new teacher this year, these women shared countless documents with me; lesson plans, anchor charts, pacing guides, you name it! And each time they shared something, it went something like this... "oops, I forgot to send the attachment," or "see me with a thumb drive, the attachment is too large." Oh, the drama! At the same time, our district was literally losing space on shared drive. My solution; Google Drive! I set up a shared google account and gave my colleagues a little tutorial at our last grade level meeting. We are now able to share and see (thanks to Hayley Brown who showed me how to switch to a grid format) all of our learning materials in one place. We are actually on our way to going paper/binder-less... well maybe not quite that far!
