Google Docs - *New* Add Ons

Back in the beginning of March, Google announced an upgrade to its Docs and Sheets features. The new improvement is called "Add-ons," which provides its users with apps that will work within Docs and Sheets.

An example app in the Add-ons menu that staff in our district may be interested in is Easy Bib. See below...

Don’t forget to cite your sources with the Bibliography Creator from EasyBib

Students (and teachers, for that matter) finally have a much easier way to cite their sources directly inside of Google Docs with the Bibliography Creator from EasyBib. EasyBib has always been a great tool for creating a bibliography via their website, but this brand-new Add-on means you don’t even have to leave your Doc when finishing up a paper!

To check out the new features in Docs go to the Add-ons button in the top menu bar of your screen (see below).

Other Add-on apps include...

• Track Changes (video demo- click here): Allows users to manage the editing process while collaborating on a document.

• Kaizena: Makes it easy for teachers to give high quality feedback on student work by simply highlighting and speaking or attaching a reusable resource for common problems.

• Charts: Inserting charts from Google Spreadsheets just got a whole lot easier with this app!

• Letter Feed (video demo- click here) - Group Messaging for Documents! 

• Etc!
