Using Explain Everything and sharing via Google Drive across a number of classes presented a bit if a hiccup.
What I now know: One mini can be logged into google drive as one user and logged into google drive on Explain Everything as a different user.
Consequence: Students were logging in to Google Drive, exporting their .xpl files but, because Explain Everything had previously been connected to a different Google Drive account (in a different class) the files were going into another students folders. They were in effect, disappearing.
Solution: When shutting down the minis at the end of a class students need to not only log off/remove their account from Google Drive but also access the account settings and toggle off the Google Drive account within Explain Everything. (See image below.) Students should have to log into Google Drive within Explain Everything the first time they export/share a file...if not, the file could be going into a different account.
Thank you Ms. Lewis!! I didn't know that!! We just had a discussion in my class about logging out of Google drive before returning the Ipad. I will have to let them know this new bit of information.
