Campus GAFE Resources Directory

The number of Google Apps For Education (GAFE) resources for your campuses is likely to explode very quickly, and organizing drive folders and documents for easy access will become very complex, especially since those folders and documents will most likely be created and shared by a wide variety of staff with no common organizational scheme. While this is liberating for the originators (since there’s no need to adapt to any organizational vision) it can be quite frustrating to those who are trying to make these new resources readily available… in fact, unless you’ve already created an organizational folder structure for your campus, even getting started will seem like a monumental task. One solution which I highly recommend is to create a directory of resource and links in a single Google Spreadsheet and then post a link to that directory to your staff and in your G+ communities links sections. This will allow you to create a structure through labels and links which can be sorted/filtered in a variety of ways and will function independently of the mindset of the originators. I’ve started working on one for BMS this morning, which you can view at the following link: Public View link of BMS GAFE Resources Directory
