How to use Google Drive



Google Drive is a free, web-based office suite and data storage service
offered by Google. It enables users to create online documents and edit
them collaboratively. As well as word processing, spreadsheets and
presentations, Google Drive offers a "forms" option that can be used to
generate online surveys, collate them and present the results.

"Google Apps for Education" is a package of free online tools, including
Google Drive compiled specifically for schools and colleges. It allows schools
to set up email accounts for its teachers and students, facilitates shared
calendars, shared documents and even the creation of websites that can
become class or project websites. It gives the administrator control to limit
access to emails and sites.

If you are considering setting up Google Apps for your school it is advisable
that it is done in consultation with the ICT Administrator in your school.

For the purposes of using Google Drive with your students, regular Gmail
accounts will suffice.









Tip:
Google Drive works best when using the Google Chrome browser. If
you don't already have it installed on your laptop/PC, download it now
from https://www.google.ie/. This will allow you to install other
Google Apps and access them from Google Drive in the future.
