If you have used any of the Google Workspace Apps on an iPad, you have probably noticed it does not look the same as it does on your computer.
Try using Safari on iPad to open the Google Workspace Apps instead of the app itself. It will look the same as it does on your computer and has the same compatibility. This is a nice way to keep things simple and in one format!

With the addition of Noto support for thousands of languages, you can now type in Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, and Slides) using Noto fonts for almost every living language that is written!
Google Fonts’ Noto project has fonts in multiple weights, widths, and styles for over 1,000 languages and over 150 writing systems. The Noto name, short for "no tofu," explains part of the project’s mission: to eliminate the blank rectangles that look like tofu that are shown when no font is available for your text.

More About Noto Fonts
The Founder of the Noto program, Bob Jung, who is now director of internationalization at Google, is focused on the underlying promise of open-source Noto fonts to improve accessibility, globally. That has been a key goal from the start of the program, and Bob recently observed, "The addition of new fonts builds on years of ongoing work. Noto’s ambition is to provide a basic high-quality font family covering all online languages with a harmonious design for aesthetic intermixing of languages — which is especially useful for the inclusion of ‘long-tail’ languages, and expanding accessibility.”
Here is a resource to help use Noto Fonts to type in almost any living language!

How can I be a critical consumer and creator of news and media?
It's essential that students learn to think critically about the news and media they encounter every day. Students will demonstrate the ability to identify, evaluate, and use information effectively, find credible and trustworthy sources, and give proper credit. They will recognize how individuals and society are influenced by the media and the misrepresentations and stereotypes they sometimes promote. Students will reflect on their responsibilities and rights as creators in the online spaces where they consume, create, and share information.
