Title: Group Google Drive Management (Group)
Course: Informàtica 4t ESO v2 ang > Section: Topic 2. Let’s Get the Project Started: Organisation

Now that you have formed your group you need a shared space where you can save and create documents in a collaborative fashion. You therefore need a group Google Drive.

You don't all have to generate this space: one person should do it and then share it with the rest.

The steps to follow are:

a) Create the group space on Drive

One member of the group creates a folder with the name nameofgroup_class. If you still haven't decided on the name of your company you can give it one now and change it later, no problem.

b) Share the folder with the group and save the course material needed

The member of group who created the folder must share it with the rest of the group. To do this, position the mouse on the folder, right-click and select Share. A window will open where you have to indicate the email accounts of the other members of the group. Make sure the folder is shared in such a way that everyone has edit permission.

When the folder is created, download the course material you need to your computer and upload the material. You will see that the icon indicates it is an odt document. To change it to Drive format:

- position the mouse on the document and right-click

“Open with/Google Drive”

- this creates the same document but in Drive format, which is editable and can be shared with all the members of the group.

Always work on the Drive document, not the ones you download from the course.

One suggestion is to organise your folder into subfolders by topics so the material is better organised and easier to locate.

c) Share the folder with your teacher

Repeat the same operation as before but this time enter your teacher’s email address and make sure you share the folder with permission to view and that you don't check the notifications box.

When you have created the group folder send it to your teacher as part of this assignment.

Remember you have a Questions forum where you can ask your classmates for help. Also take part but to guide them, not providing a detailed solution but directions to help them.
