Naming Files
To keep files organized for you and for your teachers, all files turned in should be titled according to the following naming convention. Notice that there are no spaces in the file name: section_studentlastname+studentfirstinitial+collaborators_documentname
Here's an example of a file turned in by an 8th grade student in 8X. His name is John Jones and the assignment is a biography: 8X_JonesJ_Biography
Here's an example of another file turned in by John Jones and his partner Annie Smith about the American Revolution:
8X_JonesJ_SmithA__Revolution
How would you name a file for yourself if you were working on a report about native americans?

Google Drive: Any written work in Google Drive can be shared with your teacher through your Google account. This can include a text document, a presentation, a spreadsheet. You may use Safari, the Google Drive App or QuickOffice Pro for your work in Google Drive.
Schoology: Teachers now use Schoology to share assignments and project work. Through Schoology you can open and submit work. It integrates completely with all of the current google tools, such as Docs, Sheets, and Slides.
Seesaw: Seesaw is a digital portfolio (both app and online) that lets you, the student choose work samples to independently document your learning.
