Chapter 4: Workflow

Introduction
With the filesharing capabilities of the iPad and tools like Google Docs, it is easy to get confused when looking at multiple files all at once. In order to better manage our school work, the following file naming convention must be used for submitting work or sharing documents. 
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?
Homework Assignments
Using the Studyo app, you can check your homework assignments, as well as other important calendar items. This is new for the 2017-2018 school year. Your teachers and the technology department are here to help you learn this system. They will assist you in setting up your account at the beginning of the school year.
Submitting Work
There are a few tools that you will use to turn in work to your teacher. The tool selected depends on the activity and teacher. Here is a basic description of each tool:

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.

Google Classroom: Many teachers now use Google Classroom to share assignments and project work. Through Classroom you can open and submit work. It integrates completely with all of the current google tools, such as Docs, Sheets, and Slides. To join a Google Classroom, be sure to get the code from your teacher.

Email: In some cases, email may be the best method for turning in assignments, it will depend on the class and type of assignment given.

Seesaw: Seesaw is a digital portfolio (both app and online) that lets you, the student choose work samples to independently document your learning.
