<html> <head> <style></style></head> <body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Dave (and interested others), I have added folders for all of the PTA positions by title (e.g. Secretary, Wellness, etc.) under the main folder on the Google Drive. As an experiment I also uploaded all of the current files for the Reflections program to the following folder: Sagamore Hills Elementary School / Enrichment (Academic) / Reflections It was a fairly painless process for me, but I am already familiar with Google Drive. I would like to see if anyone has any problems downloading them. Thanks.

There's plenty of info online if you're a self starter. I'm up for hosting some education sessions, just name a time and place (or I will). Right now, the following email addresses have access (I don't know if they're all Google Accounts though). Let me know if a different Google Account email address should be used, and who else should be added. <ul> <li>andiesscher@yah</li> <li>ani.chou@gma</li> <li>d_e_f_k@hot</li> <li>dave@1</li> <li>jeanie.barker@gma</li> <li>jennjudy@hot</li> <li>jmbaldwin@gma</li> <li>john@len</li> <li>kwspeece@mac</li> <li>lara.baldwin@gma</li> <li>monica.ellingson@gma</li> <li>nancy.shober@com </li> </ul> On 09/12/2013 12:43 AM, Dave Allen Barker Jr wrote: <blockquote cite="mid:52314675.30004@1.0ne.org"> Took the first baby steps with the PTA's Google Drive account.

Right now, myself, Nancy, Anindita, Kim, Jen, David, Monica, and John, are free to experiment. Find the "Sagamore Hills Elementary School" folder under "Shared with me" in Google Drive, or follow this link: <a href="https://drive.google.com/a/sagamorehillspta.org/folderview?id=0B9psgK8S9NgjTDg0NWUzSXA0UDg" target="_blank">https://drive.google.com/a/sagamorehillspta.org/folderview?id=0B9psgK8S9NgjTDg0NWUzSXA0UDg</a> The idea here is that PTA files are controlled and stored online by the PTA, but usable by volunteers (e.g. the Board). Folks can use files as they always have (e.g. Microsoft Office), but save them to the PTA's Google Drive (i.e. in the cloud) so everyone always sees the latest version (no email attachments!). I'll be working to document how this is done. </blockquote></div> </div></body> </html>
