Google has added a new font family – Lexend – that will potentially help students read faster and better. The font is available inside Google Docs, Sheets and Google Slides.
A recent study suggests that students were able to increase their reading speed (total number of correct words read per minute) by 19.8% when the same document was formatted in the Lexend typeface vs. the Times New Roman family.
Watch the video to see how to add Lexend fonts to your Google Account.

Assessing student writing can be a very time consuming and tedious process. Reading through and evaluating dozens of multi-page documents and providing meaningful feedback during your “free” time is no one’s idea of fun.
Texthelp (creators of Read&Write, which we already use) came up with a solution that can help - WriQ.
WriQ is an extension for Google Docs that automatically grades papers digitally. It’s faster, more accurate and consistent than traditional manual and subjective grading - giving students, parents and teachers clear visibility of writing progress over time against peers and standardised norms.
Also, starting near the end of January our district will have a chance to use premium WriQ features for free until at least the end of April.

You can now “pull out” and highlight a slice from a pie or donut chart in Google Sheets. This feature gives you more ways to control the look of your charts and better display the most important data from Sheets.
If you've highlighted some text, but the last character or two weren't selected, you can hold down the Shift key and press the right or left arrows to increase (or decrease) your highlighting by one character. In fact, anywhere you can place your cursor, you can use Shift combined with the right arrow to highlight text and skip the mouse entirely.
Shift and the down arrow will help you highlight multiple rows without your mouse.
Here are 4 (four) more copy+paste tricks you might want to use.
