My last blog post was in February. A LOT has happened since then. We are facing a global pandemic. We are grappling with the heavy weight of social distancing, infection rates and death tolls, and everything else that COVID-19 brings along with it. As educators forced to change the way we reach students, I want to thank you for your adaptability. We pivoted, and while it may not have felt graceful, and there were and are still kinks, and we know that we are not reaching all of our students and that weighs heavy on our hearts, we pivoted in a direction we never thought we would have to. We did it, we are doing it, and you are amazing. All that being said, with this change in how we instruct there has been SO. MUCH. TECH. STUFF. A necessary part of all this, but overwhelming nonetheless. I have struggled with how to proceed with my blog. Do I focus on things that I normally would? Or do I focus on distance learning only? I decided I will just focus on things that I think will benefit you guys, no matter what that topic may be. So today, I have something pretty simple, not COVID-19 related, but very helpful nonetheless. Google Drive is rolling out shortcuts. This is helpful to those of you using Shared Drives and running into the annoying feature where you can only have stuff in a Shared Drive and not in your Drive. Here's an example of how a shortcut works: my principal creates a document and shares it with our School Improvement Leadership Team. I can now create a shortcut to the document in the school improvement shared drive, allowing everyone on the team to easily get to the file.
