[@caidenbond1988]

Video starts at 2:30 thank you for the high quality video!

[@lisaaltieri6216]

ok so finally someone who is the whole package doing a tutorial. I love your energy, your articulation and your knowledge base. I am older and Tech stuff does not come natural, yet I dont need to be spoon fed and have things repeated multiple times either. You do such a great job on camera and I look forward to listening to more of your stuff! Thank you!

[@VioletEmerald]

Agree so much!!

[@scottgriffin4183]

True

[@kimmaccallum4026]

I would be LOST without Michelle! I am so low tech and she has made the start up of this remote instruction year so much better! SHE ROCKS and I've told everyone about her! They love it too!

[@kathygibbs677]

This was so helpful. I am a reformed mess. Although organization doesn't come naturally to me, I do strive toward organization. I recognize the peace and ease it brings to my life. I married a very organized man 18 years ago and I have been adopting his ways ever since. I am an example of organization being able to be taught. I really appreciate your tips and how concise your lesson was presented. Thank you so much.

[@emilyhutchinson6393]

ummmm... so you are wonderful. truly appreciate your simple straightforward support. sometime i watch your video just to support what i already know. keeps me feeling confident and inspired.

[@eileennash710]

I am so glad I found you. I am not addicted to learning about technology thanks to your easy to follow and well organized presentations. You are awesome!

[@Jabv5225alb]

Thank you so much. I am not a teacher, but I work alone, have no staff, and have tons of information to organize. You are a really good teacher!!!!

I think you're an awesome teacher for fourth grade I have been watching you as of late and I think you're a wonderful teacher congratulations on your job

[@nopadgal8453]

Your videos have been life savers for me. Now that we are teaching from home, I have been binge watching your videos and practicing. I definitely need to clean up my Google Drive.. I am the older teacher who hates to constantly be asking for tech help (but I do). This is a great help for me. I will share your link with my fellow teachers. They may have already found you. Keep up the great work and stay safe.

[@AnaBarraza-se2tn]

Thank you SO much for explaining this in simple terms. I loved how you made it a point to indicate every single click and button. You are a great teacher.

[@russellpalatiere8852]

I love this series of videos!! My dad who was an E coach and I are smiling ear to ear with your content. Google drive is a MUST for any teacher!! I use it to keep myself organized. It's great to keep that work/life balance!!

[@laurielambie3437]

You are amazing. Very teacher friendly and so easy to follow. I am organizing my Google Drive as I am typing this. I am in the process of watching all your Ed Tech videos. Thank you so much!!!!

[@lorihensel4340]

I love this series. I’m a preschool teacher and director that has not stayed up with technology over years. This type of video is so helpful to someone like me that went to college before technology became so vital in the classroom. Thank you for the step by step instruction. ❤️

[@kerrimarshall1262]

I am an art teacher and this was also relevant to my very disorganized drive. THANK YOU!!

[@playingaaronburr8981]

You have no idea how helpful that was! :) I'm a double majoring college student (Education & Spanish) who works 30+, and I am starting my own business. My drive was becoming a real mess and I had no idea how to organize it. This was such an easy video to follow and before I even had any questions you had them answered!

[@sharimelick7915]

It's the best feeling to open my drive after organizing four years worth of stuff! My take away, everything has a place now! Thanks so much for your great videos!

[@jacquelinereillylowmanes5510]

In 5 weeks of teaching and using Google Drive for the first time, I have a lot of "stuff." This video is simple, to the point with great tips to help anyway get and stay organized. Highly recommended.

[@lettieyoung2791]

Thank you for starting your explanations from scratch. Very useful.

[@mrsrebeccax]

I’m a student teacher in the UK and watching your vlogs and videos gives me so much inspiration for when I get my own classroom. I love the way you say it how teaching is and don’t try and sugar coat it.

[@caracaplinger1860]

Now that I'm teaching from home, I have time to organize my Drive. Thanks for being clear, concise, and specific!

[@cherub2777]

I always enjoy watching your videos and I always learn something from them. However, this one blew me away and so simple. It was perfect to what I needed most and was such a great help! I had avoided going into my drive because it was such a hot mess. In less than an hour's time, I cleaned it up and now I am no longer frustrated with trying to find anything I need! Thank you!

[@ritaashinglazar]

Organised my drive while watching the video. Loving the colours! Thankyou

[@margochristie8797]

You are such a breath of fresh air! So 'clued up' too! YOur youtube vids are my 'go to' for everything regarding my workspace (although I haven't quite mastered that yet!) but my google slides, you name it...you're knowledge and skills are excellent! Thank you! Nga mihi!

[@conniegiovinazzi6108]

Thank you for this video! My Drive was a mess and whenever I opened it I'd cringe!! With some of your tips, I've been able to tame the beast! Thanks again!

[@SP-so6ud]

I just started using Google Drive for assignments, etc. So glad that you explain this portion of it clearly. Now...time to get organized!

[@janicetaylor5440]

I am so excited to learn from you! Education is a door that someone opens up for you. Inside is a vast room with tons of possibilities that you didn't even know existed. Then the learner takes off on their own and creates according to their own world. Thank you for your inspiration!

[@iamchangingtoo]

Another idea that is a game changer and very helpful. I set my folders up to and created folders based on grades along with subdirectories for subjects. My icloud storage is a hot mess and is now sorted in google. This whole video has really helped me organize so many documents. My next goal is to start scanning and uploading documents. I have papers all over the place and it is annoying. Something calming and beautiful about being able to find everything at first glance.

[@centuriongirl21]

This made my teacher heart smile. Thank you so much for this video. So many great tips and tricks

[@marycarolsheard8736]

Thank you. This was very helpful! I am new to Google Drive and Google Classroom and am learning all that I can to that I can do distance learning effectively. I have watched most of your videos. Thanks again! I really appreciate your help

[@JessalynRevelle]

I am absolutely obsessed with having my Google Drive organized. I had a student teaching intern this year and by the end of the year, his drive was organized by units/themes. Organization is key for me functioning as a teacher! ha

[@julieboyden372]

My District just started using Google Drive more regularly. Your video was super helpful and easy to understand. I can't wait to set up my folders!

[@mawulekumitokponwey9086]

I wish all of this was around 28 years ago when I started teaching! This would have made so many tasks almost mindless. Thank you! Us veteran teachers can learn so much from you newer teachers also. We are not always tech savvy like younger people. I watched your new teacher supplies post and got so many great tips. Keep doing what you are doing! I will take your ideas into my last two years in the classroom.

[@Anathema52380]

A piece of advice for anyone with MORE than 9 folders: instead of putting the number "1" write it as "01". Google goes by the first numeral, so "10" will end up BEFORE "2" unless you make it "02." Had a very aggravating 20 minutes 3 years ago until I figured this out...,🤦🏽‍♀️

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

Yes! I forgot to add that in there. Personally, I always keep my "broad" categories to under 10 because I keep my "teaching" files and "personal" files in separate Google Drive. But you definitely may need to use this if you keep all your files in one place and have many different categories!

[@Anathema52380]

@@PocketfulofPrimary haha. I've had a few years of figuring this out. Our district uses the G-suite as everything so the kids all have Google accts via our school network and we are a 1 to 1 district with ipads. We've gotten very good with the ins and outs of this stuff. Which means my drive is a HOT MESS right now. Time to do some digital Kon Mari...because #teachersarehoarders and #digitalhoarding is the worst ...

[@Squabetty]

Super Sab oh yeah.... :(. Can you imagine I ran a private educational tutoring company for 15 years where we tutored every subject kindergarten through college

Only stumbled across your channel tonight and it's awesome. Picking up some great tips for my classroom. Thank you! Watching all the way down here in New Zealand. 🇳🇿

[@nancycox270]

I wish you had made this video back in September. My new school uses Google drive and classroom for everything and I was and still am clueless when it comes to Google Drive. You made this so easy to understand that I am now going to attempt to organize a year's worth of files. I can't wait for the Google classroom video. Thank you soooo much!

Ms. Ferre, I really enjoy your channel so I decided to subscribe. And even though I am a college instructor, the topics, tips, tricks, resources, etc., you cover so very well in many of your videos (and the energetic and enthusiastic way you deliver them!) contain wonderfully helpful knowledge nuggets for any teacher/instructor who wants to learn about online teaching and improve his/her skills. So, keep 'em coming, Michelle! We greatly appreciate the massive amount of time and effort you put into producing your very informative and instructive videos! ~Dr. Chuck
