Using Files from the Team Drive

Paragraph picture
When using items from the Team Drive for instruction - Please make a copy of the file first, and place in your own My Drive. Only members of the Team Drive can access the files. Sharing of files outside of the team drive members will require the person to request access. I will not be approving access outside of the members of the team drive.


This will also allow you to make changes to documents without changing them for everyone!


For directions on making a copy of a document and moving it to your own drive, click here.

Student Interest - Four Corners Activity

Paragraph picture
La Maestra Loca has shared a Four Corners activity to gather information on student interests! Although her slides are intended for Spanish classrooms, it could be easily adaptable to other languages. The interests are mostly generic (in reference to language/country/culture) but each corner is represented with a flag of a Spanish Speaking Country that would need to be changed, along with a few cultural items. Find her post here.
