Tech Tip of the Month
Create a Digital Dropbox for Your Students' Whiteboard Creations
- Go to: http://docs.google.com and log into your account.
- Create a form with the following (or similar) fields:
– Class (optional)
– First Name
– Last Name
– Project Name
– Notes/Description
– URL - Click the blue link at the bottom of the page to view the published form.
- Shorten the URL of the published form (use http://tinyurl.com or another shortener) and share it with the students, or embed the form into a blog, wiki, or webpage.
Note – Once the dropbox form is created, it can be used over and over again.
Students and the Digital Dropbox
Each time students want to submit a project, they will:
- Go to the “Digital Drop Box” form. (The shortened URL provided by their teacher.)
- Fill out the form. (It is best to copy the URL of their project/product and paste it into the form.)
- Click “Submit.”
Teacher Viewing of the Whiteboards
1. Go to http://drive.google.com
2. Click the title of the form you created earlier. This will open the spreadsheet that is “gathering” the students’ assignments.
3. For easy viewing, use one or both of these options
a. In the Normal View, sort the columns to order the rows by class, by assignment,
and/or by student name.
b. In the List View, use the pull-down menus at the top to easily find (filter) each class,
each assignment, or each student.
4. Click the URL and choose to “go to link.” This will open a new tab or window in your
browser and will display the student’s project.
