Tis the season of giving and I’ve been inspired by my PLN and a certain holiday song to share some Google Workspace Tips that I’ve either discovered or rediscovered in 2021. To be precise, the plan is two share 12 Google specific tips in addition to any other posts I am inspired to complete during the month of December. I will link other 12 Days of Google posts at the end of this post for your reference. 

Today I wanted to share my third tip connected to quickly get students or teachers to a specific phrase or section of a webpage or online article using Google Chrome. 

Have you ever wanted to share a specific section of a website or sentence of an online article? For example, I just want a group of teachers to focus on number 6 of the Edutopia article.

I could link teachers to the article and provide them with instructions to scroll down to number 6 and read the 4th paragraph. (At least one person will get lost on the page.)I could copy and paste the section and share it with them directly. (Losing context of the full article.)

Both of these options have pros and cons, but what if I wanted to save myself and the group some time by getting them focus on the section right away? 

Google Chrome allows users to highlight a section of text on most webpages and create a link that directly links to and highlights that text. Click here to see this in action. I do this all the time with my students. Instead of having them copy and paste a quote connected to something we are exploring, I have them instead share the link to the highlighted text. I like this because I can see where the quote is and explore the context of the site/article if I am curious. 

It’s really easy for anyone to do this. Here are the steps and on quick example. 

Open the website in Chrome and find the section or text that you want to share.

All About Me - Heart Maps to Start the Year

By
I am always looking for creative ways to get to know my students. I also love creative ideas that we can use to introduce them to some of the tools we use throughout the year. The past several years I have modeled our use of Padlet with a 7 Pictures – All About Me Project. This year I was inspired by  Marwa Elkelani to try something a little different. We are going to start with some Heart Maps and get some practice with Google Drawings or Google Slides. A heart map is a visual map that uses drawing, text, shapes, and images to share feelings, people and places you love, memories, experiences, and more. These can be created on paper or digitally. I think Canva , Adobe Express , Google Drawings, or Google Slides could all be used to facilitate the creation of these digitally. I am going to focus on Google Drawings and Google Slides for this post. We use both Drawings and Slides to create during the year, so I love the idea of exploring these tools with students early in the school...
