Google Docs
Go to Google Docs on the SISD Homepage
Students must log in from the home page. This puts them in our domain and allows them to use their school username and password.
Teacher sharing a Doc
The teacher may have shared a Document with the student. They will go to Shared with me to find the document.
They may create the project in Google Docs
To create the document or presentation in Google Docs, simply click on the Create Button and choose the type of file you need. You may also upload a file from the student's computer. Click on the upload button next to the create icon, or simply drag and drop. You will need to make sure the conversion is on before a student may alter a document.
Teacher shares a document
Once a teacher shares a document, the student should make a copy of the document. That way the document stays in the student's drive and they can make changes without changing the original document.
When a file is uploaded
The student needs to make sure their conversion is on. You may do this from the settings menu. This will convert the document from it's original format to a Google Docs format. This will enable the student to alter or "fill in" the document.
Upload pane
You may also change the conversion setting from the upload pane. Just make sure that it has conversion on here when you are uploading a document.
