Google Drive Strikes Again!

I don't know about anyone else, but I have so many resources that I have forgotten half of what I have. I do not fully utilize the awesome materials in my room. I was looking for a way to inventory everything so I could quickly find materials when planning for class lessons, groups and individual counseling.

My favorite resource is Google Drive which I use for so many things. I decided to use it, yet again, to develop a spreadsheet of counseling materials.  With this spreadsheet, I can locate resources at the click of a button.  If I am looking for a book about anger, I can arrange the Area/Subject column to quickly locate available materials. If I am looking for a particular book title, I can arrange the Title column in alphabetical order.

It only took my 4 years to figure this out!

It is going to take me awhile to get through all of my materials but it will be so worth it in the end! I am excited to use some of the materials and resources that have been collecting dust!

  1. Another great idea!! I love Google Drive also. I commented on your blog on the items that you use for organization but I never heard back. Would it be possible to get a copy of everything emailed to me @ christina.smith@rusd.org. I really appreciate it.
