How to Screen Record on iPad or iPhone

best tip I've learned since starting google classroom - iphone and ipads have screen recording built into it. That bullseye under the flashlight is where to find it.  I had to add it to my control panel through settings, but found if you press and hold the bullseye, you can choose to add voice or just capture screen sound.  Turn on "do not distrub" to revent unwanted notifications. Then, easily add the video as a file into your google drive for wasy sharing with students.  This is a quick, easy and free way to visually walk students through some troubleshoot areas.  Hope this helps someone else who didn't know iphones and ipads had thi feature.

Google URL Tricks for Teachers

google document url tricks
Click here to see many more details about each of the graphic tips and tricks listed below.


preview link
Teacher Tip: Changing /edit to /preview?rm=minimal in Google Slides presents the slideshow without the navigation bar at the bottom. This is handy when you do not want your audience to skip slides. 


prepare make a copy with comments
This link works just like the regular Make a Copy link, but it also copies any comments from the original document into the copy. This can be handy if there are comments you want viewers to see and possibly reply to. Comments may include additional information, instructions, checklists, and hyperlinks.


prepare a pdf link to a google doc or sheets document
Instead of displaying the document in Google's viewer or app, a PDF is automatically downloaded when the link is clicked.
PDF links are good for when you want others to print or save your document. 
get shareable link
One way to turn on link sharing is by clicking the Share button in an open document. Then you'll see an option to Get shareable link
Clicking that option turns link sharing on and copies the link to your clipboard. 
Once you have the shareable link copied, you can paste it into a document, webpage, link shortener, etc. 
By replacing /edit in the URL, you can do some pretty nifty tricks: 
You can transform a shareable link into a Preview, Copy, Template, or PDF link.
Below are glanceable graphics for each kind of link. 


make a copy
This method of sharing forces a user to make a copy of the original, and the copy is now fully owned by the user and placed in her Google Drive.



prepare a template link to a google document
Use a Template link to share the contents of your document with the option to make a copy—it's a combination of a Preview link and a Make a Copy link.
The audience for a Template link does not see editing in real-time.


prepare a pdf link to google slides or drawings document
If you'd like the PDF to display in the browser, you can use Google's online document viewer. 
Add https://docs.google.com/viewer?url= to the beginning of the PDF link.
