800 Staff & Students Contributing To Community Service Movie

We needed a workflow for staff and students to contribute photos and movies taken during our Community Service.  Last year we had everyone email the images to us and then we sorted them out We made this video.

This year we are more organized with Google Drive Folders.
Here is our process:


I also created a GIF so that students can see how to "add the folder" to their Drive.  This GIF was created with my ever increasingly favorite app, Workflow.  You can get the workflow here and add it to your collections of Workflows.

While making the movie in iMovie, it's very helpful to have the "activity feed" up on the screen.  It notifies us of changes to the folder.

Google Drive Shared Folder For Housing Classroom Resources

Our eighth grade communication arts teachers needed a place to house multiple resources that each of them are creating.  As of now, they were emailing the resources to each other which was causing email overload!  The Google Drive will be used as a cloud storage opportunity with the ability to download the documents that are created.  The documents can be any digital documents including SMART notebook files.  The great thing about this process is that digital tools created on a computer/laptop/chromebook or on an iOS device can be shared with all teachers!
