Staying Organized in Google Drive

Using Google Sites to Make Web Pages

As part of your Google Account, you have access to Google Sites, which you can use to make a fairly sophisticated-looking web page if you know how. Flipped Education has compiled an incredibly thorough tutorial about using Google Sites in an educational setting, whether you are a student or a teacher.

You will find:

• Google Sites Introduction

• Examples from teachers

• Examples of student use

• Step-by-Step guide to get started

• Resources for intermediate and experienced users

• List of Google Sites resources.

Google Calendar

If you have a school email account or a gmail account, Google Calendar makes it really easy to keep track of your schedule, relevant school schedules, and can even help you coordinate multiple calendars.

The District Calendar is linked in the upper right of the District web page. If you receive an error message, clear your browser cache, and it should correct itself. If you have a smart phone, be sure and download the appropriate Google Calendar App for the phone you have. Google has a web page devoted to answering all your questions about how to set this up. The Google Calendar App works really well on my iPhone, and it costs nothing.

On a computer, the easiest thing to do is Click on Add to Google Calendar in the lower righthand corner of the calendar. If you are signed into a Google account (or cgrove417.org account) that you use on any device, you only have to do this once.

Once you have clicked on that box, all you have to do is select the USD 417 calendars that matter to you. Then, they will show up wherever you are logged in.

You can add these calendars to your own personal calendars and family calendars so everything is in one place.
