Google Drive = Endless Possibilities

Google Drive is a collaborative program that allows anyone with a Google account to take their files anywhere.  It would be impossible to cover everything it offers, but I can give you the highlights.  While many of my generation have grown up on Microsoft Office, which would include Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, etc.., it is difficult to venture out into the unfamiliar.  While the documents, spreadsheets and presentation programs tucked into Google Drive are are not an exact replacement, they are user friendly and offer the basics that anyone would need.  The greatest benefit, however, of Google Drive falls into its collaboration capabilities.  Teachers and students can share documents.  This sharing ability allows other collaborators to edit and leave comments. 

While my initial introduction to Drive was through school, I am discovering that it has a multitude of possibilities for me and my household through templates.  Refer to the picture to help with accessing the templates.  Some of the templates that I plan on using for home and school are the recipe cards, lesson plan outlines, jeopardy review games, line up cards for sports teams and resume outlines. 

In addition to document creation, users can load PDFs, images, videos and word documents into drive so that these files can be accessed from any computer.
