Your preferred learning management system (Schoology and Google Classroom) has a folder for your courses in Google Drive. This folder allows your students to share their assignments with you. Simplify this digital storage by creating an Archive folder. Doing this will allow you to quickly find the materials with the current courses. To do this:
Go to your Google Drive and select for the folder associated with your preferred learning management system
If you use Schoology, the folder is called Schoology Google Drive Assignments and/or Assignments.
If you use Google Classroom, the folder is called Classroom.
Right-click and select New Folder
Name this folder ARCHIVE
Drag and drop all the previous courses taught into the ARCHIVE folder
Do this AFTER the course has completely ended, with the final grades submitted. DO NOT do this with a live course because it will mess up the communication between the learning management system and Google Drive.
