How to Make Copies of Google Documents Shared With You As "View Only" Have you ever come across a Google Document or Google Presentation on the web that you wanted to have a copy of for yourself but discovered that it was shared as "view only?" Most of the Google Documents and Presentations that I share on this blog are marked "view only." Even if the document or presentation is marked "view only" you can still create a copy for yourself. The directions below show you how (the directions apply to Documents, Presentations, and Sheets). Step 1: Step 2: Step 3:Applications for Education Sharing Google Documents and Presentations as "view only" is a good way to distribute directions for assignments or templates for completing assignments.
How To Create A Paperless Classroom With Your iPad How To Create A Paperless Classroom With Your iPad Update: Some of the feedback we are getting (an example of which you can see below in the comments section) is suggesting you might need certain rights for this to work–namely access to Google Apps in Education, and District admin rights. We will update this post when we find out more specific information, but it seems that the majority of this workflow is relevant to simple access to Google Docs/Drive itself. Please share in the comments any experience you might have.) The idea of a paperless classroom is not new. In fact, there was recently one very good blog, TeachPaperless, dedicated to this very idea. When iPads came out, many laypersons assumed they’d simply replace textbooks, but any teacher worth their salt knew this was a bad idea. How To Create A Paperless Classroom With Your iPad
The Google Documents! Denna text skriver jag för att jag får rätt mycket frågor om Google Apps for Education och hur man ska göra för att kunna få till stånd avtal om att nyttja det verktyget. I denna bloggpost samlar jag alla viktiga dokument på ett ställe. Jag har jobbat med skolans digitalisering rätt många år nu. Det har varit mycket intressant och givande. När jag jobbade som biträdande rektor i Stockholm var min skola med och testade ett antal olika Lärplattformar (LMS). Det fick mig att tänka till en del kring våra digitala hjälpmedel i skolan. En sådan sak har varit Google Apps for Education (GAFE). Mycket har skrivits om det här. Från början hade DI fem stora invändningar (Salem). Vad har hänt då? En annan positiv sak har också hänt. Det bästa som har hänt är ändå den delakultur har exploderat på förvaltningsnivå. Vad behövs då för att skaffa GAFE (eller annan molntjänstlösning) till sin kommun? Så, med denna "lilla" text tänker jag mig bidra till delakulturen kring GAFE igen. Lycka till! Edward
iPad X Google Drive X Student Portfolios It has been too long since my last post...hopefully this one will be worth it. With recent upgrades to the Google Drive app on the iPad, Google Drive is now a viable solution for student portfolios that can be created in their entirety on an iPad and everything that is created by a student can be uploaded directly to their Google Drive account to a "Portfolio" folder that can then be shared with any one of their teachers. The Google Drive app now allows for creation of: DocumentsSpreadsheetsFolders You can now also upload from the camera roll: ImagesVideos Many PDF annotation apps also now allow direct upload to Google Drive, I suggest using Notability. Below is a presentation and video tutorial that explains the process of creating, uploading and sharing within the Google Drive app on an iPad. Google Drive iPad Portfolio from EdTechTeacher on Vimeo. I'll be talking more about using iPads in the classroom this summer at the EdTechTeacher Summer Workshops in Boston, Chicago & Atlanta.
How I reverse-engineered Google Docs to play back any document's keystrokes « James Somers (jsomers.net) If you’ve ever typed anything into a Google Doc, you can now play it back as if it were a movie — like traveling through time to look over your own shoulder as you write. This is possible because every document written in Google Docs since about May 2010 has a revision history that tracks every change, by every user, with timestamps accurate to the microsecond; these histories are available to anyone with “Edit” permissions; and I have written a piece of software that can find, decode, and rebuild the history for any given document. See that little gizmo above? It’s like a video player, but made especially for writing. This one’s from an Atlantic article I began work on nearly four years ago, on the day after Christmas in 2010. The article was about the first (and only) time I got to fly a small airplane. What’s neat about this is that I didn’t have to use any special software while I was writing to make this “video” possible. A map of changes to a document over time. To what end?

Ten Overlooked Google Docs Features On Monday I featured ten overlooked Google Slides features. Like Google Slides, Google Docs has a lot of features that new users often don't notice. Some these are features that even experienced Google Docs users overlook. Some of these features will save you time, some will give you more formatting flexibility, and others will improve the way that you share your documents. 1. Word Art Just like in Google Slides, you can insert Word Art into Google Documents. 2. 3. 4. Restricting printing is a great option to use when you just want someone to look at your document for a final review but you don't want them to print it. 5. 7. 8. 9. 10. If you're new to using Google Docs or G Suite in general, check out my G Suite for Teachers course.

In this blog post we are going to take a look at eight things you can do with Drawings inside of Docs.

You Can Now Work on Google Slides Offline This is a good piece of news for all Google Presentation users including myself. As I have always said in my previous posts, Google Presentation is really a powerful free web tool that most of us use to create slides. It is my first choice when it comes to creating slides for my students and although there are several other alternatives ( more than 20 tools ), Google Presentation remains of the best among them all. However, the feature that was missing from this service and which drove some people way from it was that it did not offer users the possibility to work on their slides while offline, but this is all history now. One of the tricks I used to do ( probably many of you used to do it as well ) to overcome this problem of internet connection was downloading my slides into a PDF format.
