Organizational Tools for School Counselors: Google Drive and Google Docs


I hate to admit that I have been kind of a slow starter when it comes to using Google Docs and Google Drive. Maybe it was the winter blahs, but now that it is spring, I am ready to incorporate Docs and Drive in my office! 

 What is Google Docs and Google Drive? 

Google Docs is a productivity app that allows school counselors to create different types of online documents, work on them in real time, and store them in their online Google Drive. The great thing about Google Docs is that you can access your documents from any place, any computer, or even without the internet!

New to Google Docs? Check out this starter kit from Google.

This past Sunday, SCOPE or the School Counselor Online Professional Exchange, sponsored an online event featuring the organizational advantages of using Google Docs and Google Drive in school counseling. This event was hosted by Maryland's new School Counselor of the Year, Jeremy Goldman.
