INTERACTIVE: What's the S&P 500?
While NGPF utilizes Google Drive extensively to share/distribute curriculum, Google is the best place to learn more about their platforms and features.
We keep all of our materials as "View Only" for teachers and students so that we distribute consistently uniform content. In order for you to customize our resources, please go to "File" and "Make a Copy" to make a copy of the document and save your version to your Google Drive. Make sure you are signed into your Google Account, so that when you click "File", the "Make a Copy" option is available. You may want to rename your new version of the document.
To share a file, click on the blue "Share" button located at the top right of the document. On the pop up menu, make sure it says “Anyone on the internet with this link can view”. Then anyone with the link can view the document.
First, decide whether your students will be answering the questions on resources directly from NGPF or the version that you as the teacher customized (your copy). If you want students working on material directly from NGPF, they can click "File", then "Make a Copy" of the NGPF Google Doc. If you want students working on material that you customized, they can click "File", then "Make a Copy" from your copy of the resource. From there, students should be able to type directly into the document and save it to their own Google Drive.
Steps for Students
No, if students receive their own copy of a Student Activity Packet (SAP), the embedded links to other NGPF resources (e.g. Activities, Projects, etc.) will link to a shared document that is in VIEW ONLY mode. If you are NOT using Google Classroom, you have a few options to distribute the SAP and embedded NGPF resources to your students:
If you are using Google Classroom:
