Neat and Tidy Google Drive

Now that we have EVERYTHING in our Google Drive it can seem quite messy. How you organize your files is kind of a personal preference, but I have a few tips and suggestions that may be helpful. 

1. Make a plan for your folders.  Make a "miscellaneous" or "extra" folder to house all of those things that do not belong.

2. Plan to only have one level of sub-folders.  If you put a folder inside a folder, inside a folder, inside a folder,.......that can get ugly quick!

3. Remember that you can search Google Drive.  That is one of the best features in Drive.

4. When you create a new doc or file stick to a consistent naming convention.  I recommend starting with the date since Google does not let you sort by "date created."  For example 9.18.15 Math Quiz Fractions.

5. Here is my example folder structure:

Elementary:

Math - lessons, quizzes, tests, study guides, class work etc.
Reading 
Science
History
School Info
Extra

Secondary:

School Year  - Block 1, Block 2, etc
Subject
School Info
Extra

As always contact your ITRT if you have questions!
