Q10. “Why is organizing files into labeled folders important in Google Drive? Provide examples from your daily
school activities.”
Ans. Organizing files into labeled folders in Google Drive ensures easy access, reduces clutter, and saves time. For
instance, creating folders like “Science Projects” or “Math Notes” helps students quickly locate assignments,
share specific files with teachers, and avoid accidentally deleting important documents. Proper organization
also optimizes the 15 GB free storage by eliminating duplicate or unnecessary files.
Q11. “Discuss the advantages of using Google Docs over traditional word processors like Microsoft Word for
collaborative projects.”
Ans. Google Docs offers real-time collaboration, automatic saving, and cloud-based access, making it superior to
traditional word processors. Multiple students can edit the same document simultaneously, leave comments,
and track changes via “Version History.” Unlike Microsoft Word, Google Docs does not require software
installation, works on any device with internet, and ensures no data loss due to crashes or power outages.

Q12. “How does Google Sheets’ ‘Version History’ feature promote accountability in group projects?”
Ans. “Version History” in Google Sheets tracks all edits made by collaborators, including timestamps and user
names. This transparency ensures students take responsibility for their contributions. For instance, if incorrect
data is added to a group spreadsheet, the team can identify who made the error, revert to a previous version,
and discuss improvements, fostering accountability and teamwork.
