GAFE Updates Continued

My last post was all about GAFE ---I introduced how to log into google classroom and announced the Google Slides app here http://piedmontpd.weebly.com/news-and-thoughts/google-classroom-omg _

This post is a bit more about Google Apps - I just did a great training. First with Jake Standish and today with Heather Nussbaum of CMS

I took lots of photos of what I found most useful for teachers or students using Google Docs for Research and Translation and Google Classroom for Sharing files and assignments:

This photo shows how easily students who use Google Drive (GAFE) can search for images and articles related to their papers. They can do it all within Google (docs or slides) and the citations are placed in MLA or other format automatically! I wish so badly that this existed when I was in school !!!!! Such a time saver!

Jake Standish made our students a Google Classroom Icon right there on the dock so when our students log into Chromebooks, it's just a touch of a button to go to their online Classroom portal! (curser at the bottom)

This shows all the ways you can download a doc if you don't want to keep it in the cloud. Notice you can also "publish to the web" for embedding in your website . Super easy!

Translate a doc by going to "tools-Translate" then select your language! It will save it as a separate document so you don't "lose" the original language. Translation will be awkward, but may be better than nothing! I chose Norwegian as my example language in honor of @tritonkory

Here is Ms. Nussbaum showing us how to make a copy of a document for each student- when they submit it it is automatically turned into the appropriate folder on YOUR Google Drive named with their name and with their edits.
