So that we could practice putting items into our Google Drive hand in folders (that are shared with me), I wanted to share a document with my students. I created two lists of recipients, one for my Grade 2s and one for my Grade 3s, and I sent the document to both of these lists. I intended for my students to open the document, answer the question, and hand in the work by moving their document to their "Hand-in to Mr. Creasor" folder. As students started to open and change the document, we discovered that the changes were being made on all documents, of the same title, open in the classroom. In hindsight, I realize the ability to simultaneously work on a document is a feature of Google Drive but I am wondering how to get around this feature if I want each student to be able to make changes to the same document? We tried renaming the document and moving the document.
As I write this, it occurs to me that I should have had my students make a copy of the document, rename it, and then proceed to make changes. Unfortunately, this possible solution did not occur to me when I was with my class. Would this be the best route to take?
Thanks for any assistance you might be able to provide.
Scott
