I am a "newbie" at much of Google because I don't use it with my student population much.  So when I needed to know basics like how to write a new blog post or embed a screen shot (or even take one !) I was somewhat reassured to find the colleagues I asked this week weren't always sure either. Made me feel less "behind" !

I really liked the idea of color coding my Google drive folders.  I've decided that "red" folders will be "the folders where work exists you have not yet completed" - so it's for student IEPs, reports and so on.   The "orange" folders will be for uncompleted work that's at least "on it's way", so our ongoing PLC work and my PGE.  The green will be for things that don't need a panic button right now.

So: Before -

and after:

That's not rocket science - or even a proper exploration of the huge range we covered last week - but it's a start and I'm really pleased that in the process I have also learned how to create new blog posts (I know - baby steps) and embed a screenshot !  I can see myself mining these google slides for ideas for at least the next 12 months, so I guess I don't need to master it all, *right* now.
