WITH GOOGLE, EVERYTHING IS EASIER!

The past few weeks have been dedicated to preparing for the 5th Annual Blended Learning Lab (which I am super excited about) - but I had to take a moment to share a SUPER COOL update on our course pages.

finalsite course pages are now integrated with Google Drive. This means files located Google Drive can be easily shared in activity stream posts, submitted as Dropbox assignments by students, and used to create new file-type resources by teachers! 

In all of these cases, clicking the Google Drive icon will open a window that allows you or your students to select which file from Google Drive you want to upload.

Like any other Google integration, the first time you select the Google Drive option, you will be asked to sign into your Google account and then give the site permission to access Google Drive. Once you click Accept once you will not be asked again. 

This integration allows teachers and students the ability to upload documents to the course page from any device, anywhere!  How cool is that! As always, if you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask!
