Google Docs 101

Investing in effective routines at the beginning of the year doesn't end with lining up, naming stationery and ruling red lines down the centre of their 1E5 books. Setting up effective digital routines will reap similar rewards in terms of managing the learning environment.

Some things to remember:

Rather than a simple copy and paste, adding the shift key into the mix will remove any underlying formatting from the source

Using formatting styles will allow easier navigation e.g through table of contents or document outline. Make links powerful by focusing on particular sections of a document when sharing. This can also make student work more manageable. Why have a new doc every day for each learning activity? Using heading styles for Docs can allow new work to be added every day, without having docs all over the show.

Voice typing can be used for a number of classroom applications, and can overcome some of the pain points in student work flows.
