    ok so finally someone who is the whole package doing a tutorial. I love your energy, your articulation and your knowledge base. I am older and Tech stuff does not come natural, yet I dont need to be spoon fed and have things repeated multiple times either. You do such a great job on camera and I look forward to listening to more of your stuff! Thank you!

    I wish all of this was around 28 years ago when I started teaching! This would have made so many tasks almost mindless. Thank you! Us veteran teachers can learn so much from you newer teachers also. We are not always tech savvy like younger people. I watched your new teacher supplies post and got so many great tips. Keep doing what you are doing! I will take your ideas into my last two years in the classroom.

My team and I have recently switched to using Google Drive and we find it so much easier to keep things organized. That being said, I’ve learned so much more from just this video alone! Thank you for your inspiration and for sharing your expertise and positive motivational energy with us! Cheers from Japan! 🐶🙋🏻‍♀️🇯🇵✨

I married a very organized man 18 years ago and I have been adopting his ways ever since. I am an example of organization being able to be taught. I really appreciate your tips and how concise your lesson was presented. Thank you so much.

    A piece of advice for anyone with MORE than 9 folders: instead of putting the number "1" write it as "01".
    Google goes by the first numeral, so "10" will end up BEFORE "2" unless you make it "02." Had a very aggravating 20 minutes 3 years ago until I figured this out...,🤦🏽‍♀️

    • @PocketfulofPrimary
      @PocketfulofPrimary  Před 5 lety +22

      Yes! I forgot to add that in there. Personally, I always keep my "broad" categories to under 10 because I keep my "teaching" files and "personal" files in separate Google Drive. But you definitely may need to use this if you keep all your files in one place and have many different categories!

    Thank you so much. I am not a teacher, but I work alone, have no staff, and have tons of information to organize. You are a really good teacher!!!!

    Thank you so much for this easy to understand video about organizing Google Drive. It is so much easier for me to find files in they are in a logical place.
