[CASL-L] Google Docs??

[Carol LaRow]

I had a few more thoughts on this topic after I hit send:

1) In the sidebar, click on "All Items." Often, docs show up that do not
show up when clicking "My Drive"

2) They can also search for the documents by name in the search bar at the
top of the DRIVE page. The docs may show up for you.

3) Another thing to consider is that something happened while the doc was
being synced to the cloud and the file got corrupted.

4)  Shared docs also have a tendency to get deleted by one person without
realizing that they're deleting it for everyone else too. Or someone might
mean to hit Share but accidentally hit Delete instead

5) If they are shared documents inside a folder, and if  a collaborator
moves them, the docs may disappear form the owner's drive.   In those cases
the owner can still search for the file or click the All Items and they
will be there. an owner moving/deleting/unsharing a document without
telling others who had access to it can cause this.

6) In a school setting, one thing to make sure is that if the the computer
goes offline while they are typing that they stop until it comes back
online.   Students often ignore the big red warning block and type away
then wonder why everything is missing.

7) Another way that documents can vanish: Students failing to log out after
using a school computer. Another student comes along and rather than
logging out and then logging in, starts using the computer. They may not
realize they are in another student's account, delete or move files. This
is more common where students are not yet used to using accounts on shared
computers,
