GOOGLE DRIVE

     I think the best way for you to turn in documents (Units, projects) at the end of the semester will be through Google Drive.  It's free and very easy to use.  To start, you'll need a Gmail account.  If you have Gmail, you have Google Drive.  If you don't have Gmail, just go to gmail.com and sign up for a free account.  

     Once you have your Gmail account, just go to drive.google.com, log in using your Gmail password, and you'll see a screen that looks something like this.   If you have never used Google Drive, you won't see any files.


     You can create new files there using Google Docs or Google Slides, or just upload an existing file or folder.  To do this, just click the big New icon and you'll see options for File Upload or Folder Upload.  Once you've selected your files or folder and uploaded them, they will appear in the big window - you can see I have several in my drive.  To share a file or folder - which is the way you'll turn them in to me - just right click on the file and choose Share.  A window will open asking for the e-mail address of the person you want to share the file with, and you will  enter grmeadows@gmail.com   Notice - that's not my UMW address, it's easier for me if you share using my gmail address.
