Classroom Screen

Classroom Screen is a website that works as a "home-base" for all of your teaching needs! The platform is customize-able with a timer, clock, random name generator, text box, work symbols, traffic light (would work great with cell phone management), exit tickets and more! Click here to check it out. Be sure to click the menu bars (three horizontal lines) in the top left corner for tips & tricks, help center and more! On Twitter? Follow ClassroomScreen for examples of how other teachers are using this site!

Using Files from the Team Drive

When using items from the Team Drive for instruction - Please make a copy of the file first, and place in your own My Drive. Only member of the Team Drive can access the files, and I will receive access requests when documents are shared with anyone outside of the Team Drive members try to access the documents.

This will also allow you to make changes to documents without changing them for everyone!

For directions on making a copy of a document and moving it to your own drive, click here.
