10 Great Tools to Integrate with your Google Docs Since Google officially changed Google Docs name to Google Drive and a number of updates have been introduced to improve its overall performance. One very recent update is an increase of cloud storage capacity to 15GB usable across Gmail, Drive, and Google Plus. It is quite obvious that Google is trying to outsmart its immediate competitor Dropbox and I think Google is successful in its strategy so far. To make Google Drive stand out from the crowd, Google opened it to apps developers and allowed users to select from a wide variety of web apps to integrate into their Google Drive accounts. With the integration of these apps, users can now handle their files and documents ways not affordable by any other cloud storage tool out there. I have curated for you some interesting apps that are integrated into Google Drive and which you can install right from your Google Drive interface. Here is a list of some great apps to use with your Google Drive : 1- WeVideo 2- PicMonkey 3- Google Forms app
Postach.io X Evernote X Explain Everything X iPads Postach.io is a new blogging platform that allows an Evernote Notebook to be turned into a blog. After a Postach.io account and blog (1 per user at this point) is setup, users can pick from an existing Evernote Notebook or can use the notebook created by Postach.io. Within each notebook, notes are by default kept private unless certain tags are added to each note. To post an Evernote note to the blog, simply tag the note with "published". To create a new page on the blog, tag an Evernote note with "page". I think Postach.io could become a viable blogging option for schools in 1:1 settings (iPad or laptop) where students are already using Evernote as a digital notebook platform. When Postach.io & Evernote are used in conjunction with Explain Everything, students now have the ability to publish blog posts through their existing Evernote account that can include customized images, graphics or posters.

Google Classroom: Viewing Rights One issue with using Google Docs with students is remembering to set the viewing rights on a document. How many times have you linked students to a file in Google Docs only to hear a sea of voices exclaiming “We do not have permission!” When you create a Google document the default viewing permissions are private. Google Classroom solves this problem by allowing the teacher to link to Google Docs from their school Google Drive account. Additionally you can set the Google documents you share with students to be “Students can edit file” or “Make a copy for each student.” No matter the sharing options you choose in Google Classroom you can be assured that the students will have access to the document so long as they are signed in with their school Google Apps account. Any documents or files that students submit through Google Classroom automatically have sharing rights with the instructor. For more information about Google Classroom see: Like this:
Inside Search Google is the most popular search engine on the web. Most of us rely on Google search for finding information. Sometimes it can be difficult to find just the right information we are actually looking for out of the hundreds or thousands of results returned in Google’s search. Despite using Google every day, we still use it in its simplest form. Towards this end, in July 2012 Google created an online course called Power Searching with Google. The Google Power Searching course is available online on edX as an Xseries program. Go to Power Searching with Google Course The course is structured as a series of 6 modules, each of which comprises of 5-6 short video lessons. The instructor of the course is Daniel M.

7 of the Best New Add Ons for Google Docs and Sheets Yesterday the Google Drive team announced one of the biggest updates to Docs and Sheets that we’ve seen in a long time. The new Add-ons feature for Docs and Sheets makes it really easy to bring some advanced functionality, or just some missing features, to your most important Drive files. With this new Add-ons feature comes a brand new marketplace with dozens of options to choose from. We suggest playing around some of them to see which ones fit your specific needs, but there are a few that we really like already. Check them out below, or you can learn how to add these tools to your Docs and Sheets in this video. 1. Before Add-ons were introduced, creating a mail-merge required some knowledge of apps script as well as a lot of patience when putting together all the materials. 2. Collaboration is already one of the most powerful tools in Google Docs, but asking for (or receiving) approval for changes can really only be addressed with a workaround by using comments. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Technology in the Classroom: A Look at Google Classroom Google has already made a large impact on education with its Google Apps for Education (GAFE), which includes Google Docs, Google Spreadsheets, Google Calendars, and a diverse array of other apps easily utilized by schools. Now Google is introducing Google Classroom, a technology in the classroom app designed to provide a single dashboard to unify instructors’ use of other Google apps. Google has announced that as of this week, all GAFE teachers will have immediate access to the Google Classroom. Those who are not GAFE educators can still apply for a preview. Google Classroom’s purpose is to facilitate paperless communication between teachers and students and streamline educational workflow. One of the best features is that Classroom is fully integrated with all other Google apps, so students and teachers can share information with one another instantaneously instead of having to hop through various hurdles to submit work.
