Things have moved in Google Docs and Slides!

Google has been busy re-arranging the menus in Google Docs and Slides. Everything is still there, just in a different place!

Google analyzed usage data and feedback to re-organize the menu options to be more user-friendly. (Click the

found in Google apps to give feedback.)

Where are the tools now?

Tables:

If you have looked for the Tables menu option in both Slides and Docs, you may have noticed it is gone! The Table tools are now separate:

Add a Table: Insert>Table

Note that the Insert menu has been reordered slightly.

Edit a Table: Format>Table:

Text Formatting Menu:

Text formatting options like bold, italics, and underline now appear under the Format heading as a submenu. These tools still appear on the toolbar found beneath the Format tab, and can still be accessed using the appropriate keyboard shortcuts.

Google Docs Only:

Separate Text & Highlight color tools added to the Toolbar:

I am personally celebrating this change. I have accidentally highlighted text when I meant to change the color so many times!

Add Image option added to the Google DocsToolbar:

Google Slides only:

Align Vertically & Align Horizontally have been added to the Arrange>Align submenu.

Coming Soon!

Google Slides will create a Move submenu under the Slides tab to easily rearrange your slide deck order.

Draftback Replays a Google Document's Changes in Video Format!

Student plagiarism can be a problem. The world we live in makes it easy for students to copy/paste, using works not their own. Identifying plagiarism and addressing it is a big part of students learning to be good digital citizens. My last post outlined the new Originality Reports in Google Classroom, which check student submissions for plagiarism and incorrect or missing citations. Occasionally, you will have a situation that needs a thorough investigation. The Google Chrome extension Draftback is your superhero in this situation! (Shout out to the Science Department, who discovered this gem!) Can't I see a document's version history? You may be aware that you can look at the revision history for any Google Doc or Slide. Click File>Version History>See version history. You are provided a right sidebar. You can click on any revision to review the document at that time. Changes from the pr...

To Copy or Not To Copy a Google Classroom? That is the Question!

I was so excited last year when I noticed that Google Classroom provided the ability to copy the classroom for the next year. Good News: I tested this process out at the end of last year, and my results were great! Every assignment saved as a draft with all related documents and support links placed under the topics I had created. I knew teachers who had used Moodle in the past would appreciate the new feature. Bad News: That's good news. But, there was something that I didn't consider last year. When you copy a Google Classroom, it makes a copy of everything in the Classroom. Every document, every video, including your directions, course syllabus, and other 'view only' documents you provided to your students in their assignments. Let's consider how that might look: You have a Course Expectations document. You taught two sections last year. You added this document to each course. If you...

HyperQuests Support Independent Inquiry Learning

HyperQuests (also known as Hyperdocs) have been receiving a lot of teacher attention lately. HyperQuests support differentiated student independent inquiry learning. They leverage the use of technology (though not all activities are digital), embed collaboration, and build in student critical thinking and problem-solving! The concept works because it begins with strong lesson design, curates quality instructional content, and packages learning experiences in ways which engage learners. (1) Note: While the rest of the world calls them HyperDocs, the CCHS Tech Leaders prefer the term HyperQuest . HyperQuests are based on the old WebQuests, and the name HyperQuest eliminates confusion with an older application actually called Hyperdocs! What are they? HyperQuests can be any digital tool and are often built in Google Slides. They provide a visually engaging digital framework leading students through a lesson or unit of carefull...
