My school became a Google school a few years ago and so our kids don’t print anymore, but they “share” their docs. It’s a very cool feature, but frankly, I hate receiving 110 emails titled “Bobby M. has shared Untitled with you!” Here’s my work-around:

1. Create a google doc and give all students editing access. (In the share section, choose anyone with the link can edit.)
2. I create a table for each class period with each student’s name. Instead of sharing their doc with me, they highlight their name and paste the link to their doc. This way I have everyone’s project in one place and if I want them to look at each other’s’ work, or for parents to see work, I just post the turn-in page on my website. Here’s a SAMPLE.

TIME SAVER TIP: Create a doc at the beginning of the year with your class lists and label it something like “Turn in Master.” For each new assignment, go to File > Make a Copy. Then you can just change the title of the doc and not have to retype everyone’s names.
DISCLAIMER: I wrote this article before Google Classroom was on my radar. Frankly, if you can use Google Classroom instead, I highly recommend it. It does everything from above automatically and organizes it for you. HUGE TIME SAVER!!!
