GETTING STARTED (This and other resources were created by Sue Palfrey and can be accessed by going to Google Docs and looking in the MS Teacher Handbook "folder"

 * Creating a Collection**

(From Sue, can be found in Google Docs) **Sharing - Please use the falmouthschools.org addresses to share documents or calendars**.
 * Using Folders/Collection with Students**
 * You can have your students create a folder named in the following format:
 * z Smith, John Social Studies A block (the “z” will put all student collections at the end of your “Collections Shared with Me” list.
 * They can share the collection with you.
 * All their social studies work should go in that collection.
 * When you access that folder, you can view the work.
 * Searching by student name will be the fastest way of finding a student folder.

Every time the student adds a document to that folder that is shared with you, you will have it. Remember Carrie B's idea of having students use za, zb, zc....... where the letter after the z is the block number so they will be organized into blocks!


 * Video for Students - setting up Google Account - ONLY HAS TO BE DONE THE FIRST TIME THEY LOG IN IF THEY DO NOT ALREADY HAVE AN ACCOUNT.**
