Work Smarter, Not Harder! #5

Post # 5 – Using a Shared Folder

If your school doesn’t utilize a shared folder, consult with your tech person about placing one on everyone’s desktop.  Now, let me stop and clarify right here, that shared folder and tech person are as savy as I get.  I so wish I knew more about computers, but alas, I do NOT!  All I know is that we have one placed on each teacher’s desktop of the teacher computer.  In this folder, our morning announcements (which are videotaped by the students) is placed so that we all have access each morning.  In addition to that, our 2^nd grade level has a shared folder.  In it we place our lesson plans, ideas, websites, etc. so that we all have a chance to utilize the wonderful ideas we have.  If your school is like mine, good intentions fall by the wayside, when you don’t have enough time to meet as a grade level.  By having this shared folder, we can just shoot each other an e-mail stating what we’ve placed on the Shared Folder.  It’s a great way to “Work Smarter, Not HARDER!!”
