Google Doc Templates By: Daniel Knox

Google Docs has lots of templates with different designs and formats to fit your needs.

When creating a new doc from Drive, select "New", "Google Docs", "From a template"

If you are creating a document inside Docs, just click on the Template Gallery.

Inside each gallery, you have an option for Templates from Goodpasture Christian School. We don't have much in there right now, but you are able to add things you think others might need. Last night I was writing a recommendation letter and ended up creating an "unofficial" letterhead inside Google Docs and adding it to the template gallery. Feel free to use it. Lots of schools and the Common App now accept Google Documents so this could be a way to ease that process.

These templates can be used for lots of things including letters, reports, lesson plans, etc. Students can use them for reports and projects. Let me know if you have any questions or need anything else.

The first thing I always do when administering a test or quiz on Schoology is check my settings! The picture below shows several settings that I use to help with cheating. Randomize Order: I always randomize the questions as much as possible. So that no one person is on the same question at the same time. I also tell students this so that maybe they will think " I can't look at my neighbor because they will have a different question." Resumable: I always set resumable to NO on a test or quiz because if they go out of schoology it will not let them back into that test and they will have to come see me to be let back in. Then I can ask them why they got out of the test/quiz. Now with this setting you will have...

Using a Stylus Pen on a Computer Trackpad

5th/6th Tip: Sarah Burton As a part of our technology program, I will be sending you tech tips every Tuesday. They will range in complexity and purpose, but I promise to only send you ideas that I think are worth your time. This week’s tip comes from the blog The Techie Teacher and involves using an iPad stylus on your computer trackpad. I played around with it last night and found that it was very helpful when it comes to drawing or writing a signature on the computer. http://www.thetechieteacher.net/2017/08/using-stylus-pen-on-computer-trackpad.html Using a Stylus Pen on a Computer Trackpad A few weeks ago I learned that stylus pens also work on computer trackpads. How did I not know this? As soon as I made this discovery, I grabbed my 99 cent iPad stylus pen, opened Google Autodraw and tested it out on both my MacBook and Chromebook. It worked like a charm! I posted the image on the left to both ...
