And IF you didn’t upload submission #1, DO THAT!

Seniors,

Be sure you are UPLOADING your paper into the shared folder, not SHARING a file with me.  Use the icon with a piece of paper and a +sign. Make sure you know where to locate your document and that you have named it appropriately.

Again, JUST UPLOAD the file into the folder we already share.  Do NOT use the rainbow share icon to invite me to your document.  (It needs to EXIST, digitally, in our common space – which is the shared folder).

Thank you,

Mrs. C = )
