Docs - Getting Handouts To Students
Below are some ideas for using Docs to create a paperless workflow for teacher
and student interactions:
Pushing out assignments and handouts to multiple students at the same time
Making field trip permission slips, parent and student contracts, etc. available
Announcements for upcoming assignments and/or events
Post Docs at the top of Google Classroom, in the "Materials" section. Include content students can reference again and again during the year. Examples might be periodic tables, list of novels for upcoming book reviews, how to write citations, or any material or content you wish to make available for them, with quick, easy access.
Link to Docs in Google Classroom; no need to copy URL's; add directly from Google Classroom
Put links on media center pages
Make a tiny URL (Click here for Bitly URL Shortener)
Create a Sites homepage for your Google Workspace account; create categories for students to reference; link to Docs from the classroom Sites page
Create a Google Doc and publish it. If you prefer not to spend time creating a website, use the "publish" feature of Google Docs. When you publish a Doc, it acts like a webpage. It has a URL, and students can access it via their browsers. Publishing a Google Doc is a quick, easy way to make a webpage.
Share a Doc within your domain; make it "view only"; include links
Email links to other staff members, students, parents
Use a current class webpage you have and link to Docs from that page. Once you "publish" a Doc and make it viewable for anyone who has the link to that Doc, you can easily link to it from your current webpage. Viewers do not need Google accounts to view a Doc you've published for all to view.
Add links inside blogs and instant messages
Create a WORD document, add links, and post on your shared school network
Use some of the latest features in browsers to collect bookmarks and links to resources on the WEB:
Google "Reading List and Bookmarks": Click the icon in the top of your Chrome Browser to open a sidebar that allows you to keep a reading list and bookmark. Be sure to sign in to your Google account. The icon looks like a square with a dark, right sidebar. (see image below)
Use a site such as "I Keep Bookmarks" (Click here for ikeepbookmarks.com)
Use Google Keep
