Accessing the Product: The link to Google Slides is on the 3rd or final page of the PDF download.
This link will take you to the force copy link, which looks like this:
*It is important to note that you are NOT saving the PDF download to your Google Drive. The PDF is simply the directions and contains the link to the Google Slides product. You want to click on that link as pictured above to get started.
*As of September 2021, Google has updated its security features. Some school districts now block Google Drive Copy link. Upon clicking the link, if you get a "file does not exist" message, this means that your district is likely blocking it. Talk to your IT person or the simplest fix is to try from home on a personal computer.
Making a copy:
Before you begin editing/filling in your digital notebook project, it is VERY important to first save a copy of the file, on your own Google Drive, and then edit the copy. You do not want to edit the original file, nor will you be given permission to do so.
It is very important to make your own copy. Here's why:
1. Making your own copy allows you to be able to manipulate the resource (edit the text boxes, drag and drop moveable pieces, etc.)
2. You will not be given access to edit the resource since this is my "Master Copy"- therefore you must make your own copy.
The link I provide is a force copy link, so instead of asking for permission, all you need to do is click on "make a copy" (as seen above) and you'll have your own copy to edit. If you somehow moved past the force copy link, simply go to "File" -> "Make a Copy" (see below).
