This week my focus goes back to technology. I’ve been seeing in lots of places teachers asking about switching jobs and how to take their files with them to a new school. It’s entirely possible with Google Take-out, but the Google admin has to have allowed it and you have to wait and hope that it works. I’m not against trying it, but I also think there are a lot of possible things to go wrong, so I have a different way of tackling this job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since it’s summer time, it’s a great time to go through your Drive and clean it up a bit because if you weren’t aware – Google will be imposing some limitations on storage. Boo! I’ve had my time to cry over this – and now I’m ready to make the best of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can set aside 10-15 minutes and you’ll be shocked at how fast the time goes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, for those of you leaving one school and going to a different school – now is the BEST time for you to tackle this. I find that we tend to hold on to a lot of unneeded files. Take this time to go through your Drive and decide what you REALLY want to keep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’d strongly recommend the following proceed in conjunction with the 6 Steps from the post above:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is the slide deck with my 6 tips to Google Drive Organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, I suppose I should go practice what I preach and do some organization of my own!
