Tech Tip Tuesdays

I hope everyone enjoys their Christmas break! Thank you for all you do for the students!

Good afternoon!  Here is your tech tip 2.  Below is a link to where you can go and find over 800 fonts to use in google docs, slide, etc.  The cool thing is that you can preview the font before you decide to add it to your collection.  Just type in the box to see what your phrase will look like.  Also, if you will hit apply to all fonts once you are finished typing, it will change all the fonts to that same phrase.  Once you have found the font you would like to use, just copy the name of the font and add it to google docs.  The gif below will show you how to add it to google docs.  Happy Font Hunting!   https://fonts.google.com/ ​ If I can help in any way let me know.  Thanks!

You can do this by sharing the link on Google Classroom, Schoology, or many other ways.  3) The students can work individually or in groups by answering the questions and then adding a new slide with a picture of their work to the document.    Here   are the student steps to do this on this iPad. Here is a simple   example   of something similar I did a few weeks ago in one of my classes. I split them up into groups and they each answered some questions and then uploaded pics into a do...
