Technology Documentation Guide

This Technology Documentation Guide was created to help districts more effectively organize critical technology-related documents in a single digital repository. This provides for more seamless day-to-day operations, as well as improved continuity of operations during periods of personnel change.

Using Google Drive, this guide allows you to categorize your documents in a consistent, easy-to-navigate folder structure. Links to these folders can be easily provided to individual tech team members, ensuring that access to proprietary institutional information remains compartmentalized as needed.

This guide also utilizes a ready-made Google Doc table of contents, which can be updated easily as your district’s technology environment grows and diversifies. This table of contents is already hooked up to the folder structure, too, so you can make full use of it immediately without needing to update links.

To begin using this guide, click the link below. This will create a fresh copy of the guide, the folder structure, and a few sample documents in your Google Drive.

Once your copy is made, you can use it however you’d like. It can be modified to meet your district’s changing needs and overarching technology documentation goals.
