<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Technology Tips.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">My first one of the new school year is about a newish feature to your very own Google Drive called: </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Workspaces</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0CzhK5VmMJk7E71EFrYOKHMg_Lh6gi43yDvvQ0n2aBwOifTfZEhhrL2zrQrXqWdjzctxymnn4QByFonjGacw6nGJwnyfWYnL_ojtGVYGOTQejdnpwwRZntHNE0RRiOzM2FuX6kxIsmIE/s1600/Drive+Workspaces.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="412" data-original-width="1315" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0CzhK5VmMJk7E71EFrYOKHMg_Lh6gi43yDvvQ0n2aBwOifTfZEhhrL2zrQrXqWdjzctxymnn4QByFonjGacw6nGJwnyfWYnL_ojtGVYGOTQejdnpwwRZntHNE0RRiOzM2FuX6kxIsmIE/s640/Drive+Workspaces.png" width="640" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The idea behind workspaces is to create an area inside your drive (much like a folder) where you can quickly access a set of documents, spreadsheets, drawings, etc. Anything you can create under the "create" button can be added to a single workspace and then you can quickly access those files from your main Drive page.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihic7_03wm-jjQaPbES8A3w6Zd_OGziiYGJCxPyfP5g7XCbd4Lrrh9VnpCDY_IefPw8jPhCWGMahOLw27IvK4VkMaS-4yLG6e-W0nYmdYXZyiybk0snUJyFo0zjoQJz66-Cmbwj2xZ2lU/s1600/priority+section.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="79" data-original-width="359" height="70" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihic7_03wm-jjQaPbES8A3w6Zd_OGziiYGJCxPyfP5g7XCbd4Lrrh9VnpCDY_IefPw8jPhCWGMahOLw27IvK4VkMaS-4yLG6e-W0nYmdYXZyiybk0snUJyFo0zjoQJz66-Cmbwj2xZ2lU/s320/priority+section.png" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">To access this space simply click on the "priority" section under the "new" formerly "create" button</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Then click the "create workspace" button, give it a title and begin adding files to the workspace. You can choose up to 25 total files to have in a single workspace and you can add and remove them form the work space at anytime after.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The use cases for this function are entirely dependent on your working style and needs. I find it very useful to have a single work space for a set of files I access on a regular basis but may get lost amongst the "most recent" files floating at the top.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I will be the first to admit it, I do not particularly care for the native iPhone Maps navigation software. I keep waiting for it to get better as they keep promising that it will, but every-time I am in a pinch and ask Siri to get directions to a location I find myself getting stuck in construction, or driving way far out of the way, and even sometimes taking me to a not specific destination.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I know it will get better with time...but I do not have time to waste on poor directions when there are so many other services that are far more reliable and just seem to get me better.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I prefer to use Google Maps for the most part, occasionally I dabble with Waze, but my go to is Google Maps. It get's me where I want to go, it gives me timely lane navigation and prepares me for what I will need to be doing in a few miles vs suddenly being told....to turn left as I fly past the turn.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So, how can we capitalize on using Siri hands free while getting all the benefits of Google Maps.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">To sum it up: Siri Shortcuts!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I found this awesome article giving you the step by step instructions on how to set up the short cut and use it:</span><br />

<h4>
<a href="http://flip.it/j7jYuA"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">How to Use Google Maps or Waze with Siri Instead of Apple Maps</span></a></h4>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">When driving, you can get directions hands-free by asking Siri. You can also make general map searches, show a location's details, call a query's phone number, and view traffic details. However, Siri defaults to Apple Maps for all those. If you prefer Google Maps, Waze, or another third-party navigation app, the map-based Siri commands won't work.</span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I downloaded and setup the Shortcut following the instructions, and aside from the very nature of the shortcuts app being ever so slightly clunky, the shortcut works great.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I say "hey Siri"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">wait a second for her to acknowledge me, and then I say to her to "Get Directions" which is the key phrase I used (you can change it to what ever you'd like)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">And then she opens up short cuts then opens up voice dictation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I say a location or place and then Google Maps opens and the step by step directions immediately starts reading them aloud to me. </span><br />

IP I really hadn't put to much merit into all these new keyboards available for download, that is until I downloaded the Goolge keyboard for iOS! Wow, the things I didn't think I'd ever use, (like swipe typing and animated gif libraries and even being able to search for emojis) I've now been convinced of their convenience.</blockquote>
