gClassFolders- No Longer Supported, but still can be used. Try switching to Doctopus


Bjorn Behrendt, an education technology coordinator in Vermont,  has developed a quick and easy process to create folders in Google Drive for all of his students from one spreadsheet in just a few minutes.  His method, which he calls gClassFolders results in three types of folders being created:

  • Class View - Files that are view able by everyone in the class, but students cannot edit (ex: syllabus, project descriptions, rubrics).

  • Class Edit - Files that are editable by everyone in the class (ex: group projects, collective notes, brainstorming pages).

  • Student Dropbox - A folder that is shared only between you and an individual student.  This can be used as a place for students to turn in assignments.

This is the perfect solution for a many different uses. Anytime you need to collect data and sent out a personal confirmation, a certificate of completion, rubrics, test results, teacher observations, any time you need to automate a document work flow. The script is easy to use and can be found in the Add-ons. For more information see Andrew Stillman's video (Andrew is the creator of the script) or Krista Moroder's great step by step instructions. Thanks to both of you for turning on my passion for this script.
