10 BEST Google Docs HACKS for Teachers

[@EmilyYTheKiwi]

You're amazing! I'm so grateful to have found your channel. I'm a first year school counselor and watching your videos has given me so many ideas to make whole school counseling team much more efficient and helpful. Thank you!

[@Kittytoo2]

This is great my granddaughter is in 4th grade and starting to use google docs. You gave me the help to help her. I am certified int he Microsoft programs and just need to find the "how To" in docs and you nailed it. Thanks.

[@spaceblaster09]

I make Hyperdocs for my 8th graders and use Google Drawings in the doc to create sorting activities. Feedback from students is that is generally one of the most helpful parts of the hyperdoc in helping them understand. This is my favorite way to use Drawings!

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

That sounds awesome Sarah! Thank you so much for sharing and for watching and taking the time to comment! 🖤🥰

[@mrs.angieduncan7366]

Could you explain what you mean by hyperdoc? And, how do you use drawings for your students?

[@zaytsevaevgenia6437]

The drawing feature is just a game changer!!! Thanks a million for sharing this with us !!!

[@andressadepaivacorrea1436]

Thank you for your amazing video!! I'd like to check: on hack #3, when we save as "my defaut styleSSSS"... is there a way I can save more than only one style? and can I see them all somewhere? I don't have google workspace, so I can't create templates. Saving one style'd great enough, but if I can save multiples..................... hahah! thank you!

[@andrewschaeffer4438]

wonderful video thanks :). I like that I can now organize my docs instead of having them as an undifferentiated (albeit searchable) mess.

[@ann-maries.english]

Thank you!!! The bookmarks hack is so useful 🩷 I have been searching for a way to link individual words throughout my document to a glossary section, so that my students can quickly find the definitions/translations without endless scrolling.

[@warriors1erwin]

I didn't know about Hack 3! I love certain fonts so this is awesome and time saving! 👌

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

Yesss! It saves so much time once you set it up! I'm happy you were able to learn something new! 🎉

[@sootysoot]

Same here. Thanks

[@kendraeklund3533]

Thank you so much Michelle, I'm a google level 2 certified teacher, and STILL learned so much from this video!

[@hamimfahimtahia11]

Hack 3 was so much helpful for me. Thank you very much.

[@susieknits]

I am loving the clarity of the way you explain these !

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

Aww, thank you so much Susie! I appreciate it! 🥰

[@Christy-yn2bm]

Is the view only feature and/or the forced copy equivalent to "flattening" a Google slideshow for presentation, or is there a better way?

[@christinawebb6578]

I LOVE your tech videos!

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

Aww, thank you so much for your feedback Christina! 🥰

[@amandawilkins8403]

Great video, as usual! I think the main lesson I learned from your video is that we, as teachers, are always learning and continue to adapt our teaching as technology changes. I feel like this is a video I will come to again to refresh myself on these tips. Thank you, Michelle! Here's to a fantastic weekend and week ahead! 💜

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

Yesss! You are so right about that! Thank you so much for watching and commenting as you do every week! 🥰🖤 I appreciate you so much Mandy and hope you have a great week ahead! 🎉

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

Thank you so much for watching and commenting Karol! 🥰

[@JenniferSlack12]

Loved that I actually learned a couple new things. Thank you so much!!!

[@mitchelmorrison6652]

These are great! I am wondering if you have lessons or step-by-step instructions for students to follow to help them learn google docs and other google apps?

[@lisaingram6819]

My school uses Microsoft, but I have been using Google more for creating since watching your videos. I love learning new things!

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

I'm so happy you've been able to learn some new things Lisa! I know it can be challenging when your school uses a different system but it sounds like you're making it work 🖤

[@laurinpatton]

Awesome video! Thanks so much!

[@itz.leojv44]

Not gonna lie, your videos are truly inspiring. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but I want my life to be as perfect as your's 💙

[@markhaugland4620]

I thought I knew a lot, but evidently not so much. Thanks for the video.

[@frenchwithmadameg1116]

Wow! More new stuff that I learned! How to change the orientation of just selected pages is a game changer! Also, that drawing feature is so cool! I am the secretary/treasurer for my state language association and all of the minutes are taken in Google Docs. This video was so useful to help make the process easier for me! I'm so always so impressed by the in depth knowledge you have for all of these platforms. I always love these types of videos! I can't wait for the other "hack" videos that you have coming! (By the way, I have been at a conference since Thursday and knew that I had to plan time to sneak away to my hotel room so I could watch this week's video. There was no way I was missing it!) Have a great week, I can't wait to see what you have in store for us next Friday!

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

Oh my gosh... aren't you the sweetest?! Thank you so much as always Valérie! 🥰🖤 I have a video coming with some Google Chrome hacks so definitely stay tuned for that one! I hope your conference went well and I so appreciate you finding time to watch even with a busy weekend! 🎉

[@victoriaLL345]

Definitely the video I needed. Thanks!

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

Aww, yay! I'm so happy you enjoyed it Victoria! 🥰

[@kimberlypotts4621]

That was absolutely amazing. I learned so much. My documents are going to be so much more exciting and accessible and easier to navigate. 🥰

[@wendyrobinson667]

Thank you for another awesome video! This makes me want to get creative today!!

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

That's so great to hear Wendy! Thank you so much! 🥰

[@educ84life70]

This was a great video! Full of things I knew, things I didn't know, and (ha ha ha) things I'm thinking do I want to know (because they are so extensive BUT AMAZING!) !!!!! Thank you!

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

Aww, I'm so happy you got some new ideas! Thank you for watching and commenting 🥰🖤

[@davidpeerynewburg]

I am trying to create a document that I can assign in Google Classroom, but has people chips in it, so that the students would be able to have the chips already connected to those people. Is this possible? Thank you for the video!

[@elynez]

Thanks Michelle! This is awesome!

Can you show me an example of what you mean by using the Drawing tool for sorting activities?

[@kathrynmacgown6575]

Thank you!

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

Thank you so much for watching Kathryn! 🥰

[@kimberlypotts4621]

When you changed the orientation of the second page to Landscape, how do you change the next page back to Portrait. As I continued taking notes on my document during the tutorial every page after that was in landscape form, but I didn't want it in landscape, I wanted to go back to Portrait?

[@kmjwowe88]

Is there any way you could do cheat sheets for Texas TEKS? We do not use CCSS in Texas. I have used your product and watched you for years. I love your content and welcome to Texas. 😊

[@mauranitka2082]

Not a google docs question, but what do you use to create your favicons? You did do this in a video years ago, I can't find it. Can you just direct me to your fav favicon converter. Thanks

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

Hi Maura! I'm assuming you're referring to the Favicons in my bookmark bar on Google Chrome. If so, Favicons are decided by the website so you can't change the image but I have a video coming that shows how I get just the image to display! 🎉

[@priscilaoliveirasilva]

I love these hacks! thankss so much 💖💖

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

Aww, thank you so much Priscila! I appreciate you watching and commenting! 🥰🖤

[@missjessilla]

I have a hack for inserting multiple pictures next to each other when you use the option of having no pages. When there are no pages you can only insert pictures placed to the left, and under each other, What you do is insert a table and then you can have a picture in each cell. Change the outline of the table to white and it will look as if you placed the pictures right next to each other.

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

Thanks for sharing Jessika! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment! 🥰

[@destrygraves]

I wish I could give you a triple thumbs up. Thank you.

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

Aww, thank you so much Destry! I appreciate you watching and commenting! 🥰

[@nuviamar1]

Thanks for the hqcks

[@asky314]

OMG. Normal text hack?! 🔥🔥🔥

[@ytlearn180]

You are amazing!

[@christianestaninger6589]

In a future video, could you teach us how to insert a line after a question? For a test? What I do is tedious. There must be a better way. I love gour posts

[@mihiretuelfeta9567]

Interesting!

[@jacksonblack7259]

Hi And Also Good Job On Your Videos

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

Thank you for watching Jackson!

[@susanswanson5669]

[@rhea19]

[@DerNesor]

As long as google docs does not support vector graphics I will never be able to use it at all...
