Classroom and Forms Integration

The classroom team has recently integrated Google Forms much easier while using Google Classroom.

Before this update, teachers would have to create an assignment and attach the Google Form link to the assignment using the Drive or link options.  The students needed to open the assignment, click on the Google Form link to complete the form (quiz, survey, etc), and hit the submit button on the bottom of the Google Form.  Then, back in Google Classroom, they needed to mark the assignment as done.  It was a two step process to complete the assignment correctly.  

Now, with the latest update from Google, the integration of Classroom and Forms is much easier.  Please watch this short video on the new workflow of integration on Google Forms and Google Classroom.

I hope you find the screen cast helpful!

Tech Tip Tuesday: 3 Helpful Extensions

Have you discovered extensions yet?  The purpose of an extension is that it will extend the functionality of a web page.  They are available in the Chrome web store, and most of them are FREE.  Once you install an extension, it will appear at the top right corner of the Chrome browser.  Each Tuesday, I will introduce three new extensions that I find helpful and I hope you do too.  

These extensions were shared with me by my friend +Tom Mullaney.  Having a great PLN has so many advantages!    Thanks +Tom Mullaney!

Extensify 

This extension is an extension manger.  Simply click on the icon for Extensify, and it will display a list of all the extensions that you installed.  It will allow you to enable/disable all the extensions quickly.  There is no need to go through the Chrome menu settings, simply use the Extensify extension.

  Grammarly

It will provide you with a spell check and a grammar check for social media, documents, emails and more!  It will suggest the correction and you have the option to correct it or ignore it.  For more information visit,  https://www.grammarly.com/grammar-check.

 Colorzilla

The eyedropper feature will allow you to get any color from a web page and it also provides you with the color elements as shown below.  

Once you find a color you want, it will save it so that you can manipulate it and add it to other objects.
