There are 4 different ways to share documents with your classes:

1. Individually:  Each student gets their own copy of the assignment
2. Groups:  Small groups of students (designated by you) get one copy of the assignment that they can all edit
3. Differentiated:  Share different versions of an assignment with specific students
4. Whole Class:  One document is shared with everyone - everyone can edit the document
