Google Updates Plus More Great Resources

6/1/2015

0 Comments

 
Google has recently announced a few updates to its Docs and Slides apps for Android and iOS. These updates are mainly concerned with the addition and customization of images in Slides and Docs. Users now can easily integrate pictures into  presentations or documents  right from their mobile device or tablet. They can either take a photo using the camera on their devices or use the pictures already saved in their camera roll. Also, “When you’re creating a presentation away from your desk, double tap any image in Slides to enter crop mode. From there, trim the sides of your image, or tap the mask icon to crop it into a specific shape.”

The updates released recently are also available for offline access with no internet connection.  To try out these new tricks, you will need to update your Docs and Slides app. 
In addition, I encourage you to plan to utilize Google Classroom for the 15-16 school year.  It is easy to use and a seamless way to keep the work flow going between the teacher and students.  I have continued to provide snippets of information about Google Classroom regularly on my blog but below I have connected you to all of the Google Classroom getting started resources that are available.  I believe you will find that it is very easy to use.  Attend the district workshop on Google Classroom being offered on Monday, August 4, 8-12.  You will have time to learn about Google Classroom and get some of your information set up before school starts.

What is Google Classroom and How Does It Work?

 Google Classroom allows teachers to create and collect assignments seamlessly.  It has time-saving features that automatically make a copy for a student.  In addition, it automatically creates drive folders for students to keep things organized.  Students can see what's due on the assignment page and with a click can being their work.  Teachers can see who hasn't finished work as well as provide real-time feedback and grading right in Google Classroom.  Check out this brief but informative video link below to see how easy it is to use.

Understanding the Document Flow in Google Classroom.

Outline of Teacher and Student Step-By-Step Instructions

The document below provides links to step-by-step instructions for Google Classroom.  It provides both the teacher and student site of Google.

Smallpdf.com 

This tool comes to us via Linda Swift.  Linda shared, "If you ever have a .pdf document that you want to fill out but can't type into a .pdf?? I have the PERFECT site for you." Smallpdf.com converts pdf to Word. It joins multiple pdf into one document and vice versa. This is a great tool for those who have to create presentations or fill out forms. Thanks for sharing Linda.
