Last summer, one of my bigger projects in my own organization challenge was transferring and organizing all of my resources-every single one-to google drive. It was a tedious process, but it was SO WORTH THE WORK. This one will take a couple of days (or an entire, I guess, if your house isn’t filled with toddlers like mine is), but it will be SO WORTH IT.

Here are some general tips and tricks:

Create this on a Google Drive that you can keep and sustain. My district has google accounts for all of us, but I do not keep my resources there. Instead, I store them in my personal google drive account and share them with my school account so I can access them at any time (see video). You just never know what can happen with school districts and which platforms they decide to work with, and this way it will be with you if you ever transfer districts.

Every time you create a new form, or download something from TpT, etc., make it a habit to upload it to your drive. It’s super easy!

If you create something and want to save the specific format of it (fonts, etc.), upload it as a .pdf as well as a document. That way you can change it if you need it, but you can access the saved format anytime. This is helpful to me as I have a bunch of loved fonts on my home computer that aren’t available on my work one.

I chose to transfer EVERYTHING. If I had copies on my school computer, I transferred them to google drive. If I had only hard copies, I scanned them as pdfs.

Here is a video I made to help you get started. Email or message me with any questions! Good luck! It will be SO WORTH IT.
