Another Great Google Tool!

If you are using Google Docs/Google Drive with your students you can add more tools and resources to your documents by installing Google Apps. It is a simple process and you can find all kinds of things you may need to enrich student learning with these apps.

1. Go to your Google Drive account and click on Create, as if you were starting a new document. Look at the bottom of that window and click on Connect More Apps.

2. Browse the apps or use the search bar for something you need and want. Click on the apps to install them to your account.

3. Some apps will appear in the Create menu options. Others will appear when you actually select an already created document. Just right click on the document and choose from the added apps.

How easy is that? I know that we all LOVE helpful tools to make our documents and lessons more fun and exciting! Here are a couple of Goggle Apps that you might be interested in:

GeoGebra: An app for Geometry and Algebra work.
Click on the title of the app to go directly to the website to download it.

Kaizena: This app lets you annotate on a document and record voice comments. This is a great app for editing writing and student work.  It is a tool that allows you as a teacher to give immediate feedback on your students work.  All you have to do is simply highlight the text and speak to give verbal feedback.  If you do not want to do that then you can attach reusable resources for some of the most common problems that you have in class.  It is as simple as typing, writing, and recording your comments on the student's work. That is just simply a time saver and an awesome app!

I hope that both of these resources are helpful to you.
