"If for any reasons you do not want to upload your classroom videos to YouTube and are looking for another free hosting video that can allow you to upload and share your videos Google Drive is one of your best options. Only few Google Drive users know that there is a functionality in Google Drive that enables anyone with a Google Drive account to instantly upload their videos and after the upload you can get an embed code to integrate your video anywhere on the web. Here is how you can do it." Since many schools/districts do not want their students on YouTube, this is a useful substitute. I'd try a wiki like PbWorks to see if you can embed from Google Drive.

" This video takes you through Googel Docs and Google Drive and shows you how you can use them with your students too. It also shows you some of the tricky things to remember and also how Google Docs and Google Drive link together." Google has changed a bit, but this video by R. Stannard should be very helpful. Shows how to convert docs from other formats and how to use the desktop G-Drive.

R. Byrne: "One of the problems I run into when trying to find documents, videos, or folders that I have saved in my Google Drive folder is trying to find them again quickly without having to dig through the myriad of my created folders. I also want the ability to quickly share with my students folders that have documents or videos without having to send them a link to each one. With these concerns in mind, I felt that combining one of the best visual web resources (Symbaloo) with one of the best storage resources (Google Drive) was the best way to go. " The article shows how G-Drive and Symbaloo can be used together, with an instructional video. It also offers tips on using the two tools for student research projects. Organization of the tiles in the Symbaloo webmix, and the folders in G-Drive is promoted -- a good lesson for anyone whose desktop and files/folders are cluttery. Symbaloo might also serve as a mind-map for a research project, collecting related sites together, and/or tagged by color. I use Symbaloo as my Firefox desktop -- all the sites I want to find fast are there, not just the ones I have used most recently, which is what Firefox offers when a blank tab/window is opened. Symbaloo also means that when you switch from device to device the same set of tiles is viewable. Run out of room? You can organize tabs with different sets of tiles.

"Google Drive is full of options that often go overlooked. One of those options is privately sharing videos. To share videos through Google Drive upload them to your Google Drive account, preview them, then share by using the sharing options at the top of the preview screen. The sharing options allow you specify who can access the video." Screenshots show how the process works. T/H to R. Byrne

This is a nice way to cheaply add subtitles (or comments!) within G-Drive. 1. Create a text file on your desktop using the format/coding recommended in this instructional video. (You will need to specify the times where each subtitle appears.) 2. Save the file, changing the extension to .SRT 3. Go back to your video in G-Drive and select the >Details tab on the right sidebar. At the bottom of the list is >Caption tracks. 4. Select >New caption track, and select the .SRT file you have created. 5. Select a language and give the caption file a name. 6. Select >Upload and >Done 7. You can edit the text file within G-Drive also. Now when you open the movie, the subtitles will show. Instead of doing the subtitles for students, this might be a great project to have students do, as a test to see if they have mastered their own work. You may find some surprising results.

This is an incredibly thorough article that gives one a lot of ideas for using Google Drive on your own desktop or tablet.

Just having regular updates of Drive enables work off-line where needed.

Tips by R. Stannard on how to use G-Docs with your students. Includes how to create a Doc in your personal G-Drive. Students do not need a Google account to access your selected documents. For example, students can discuss a question with a table indicating which group students belong to. Students write their answers/discussion within the cell of the table. Once the doc is created, one student can access a computer to put in all the ideas generated by the group, using a shareable link. Google provides an area to shorten the link so it can be written on the board. [Remember, all students could type in the Doc simultaneously, and chat in the margin of a G-Doc.]

"Google Docs Templates Sharing templates through Google Drive is a great time saver for teachers. You could share a "view only" version of your file and require students to go to File>Make a Copy.
