Google Drive: Share Google Files as Templates or View Only

I've learned a lot lately about what can and can't be done with a Google doc to manage what happens when I share it with other people. In most instances, I use the built in sharing settings when I want to collaborate or convert my docs to PDF and share that so that my original can't be changed by anyone. Recently, I found that this was not the only way to do this and really it probably wasn't the most convenient way to share my documents. I've tried publishing my Google docs, but have found mixed success with the formatting. It seems that publishing works best with Google Slides, but other file types are not as friendly. To get around these hurdles, adjusting the URL can be a really useful way to  make your work or your students' work available. Required Settings Be sure to set either the global sharing settings or the individual sharing settings to the desired access level before proceeding.

Accessibility Considerations

As more and more content is added to the web on a daily, or even minutely, basis, one of the most important aspects of design is accessibility. Any web designer worth their grain of salt should be able to discuss this, but many people who add content to the web aren’t professional web designers and don’t even know where to begin.

Private Comments in Google Classroom

One of my most favorite ways to give feedback to students is using the Private Comments feature in Google Classroom. Much of my love for them has come from what I've learned from Alice Keeler, both on her blog and from her session at our Tech Kickoff this past August. I like this so much because it allows for personal, instant, and constant feedback to students on an individual level from anywhere, anytime. I know many teachers in my district don't like the fact that they are getting notifications from students at all times of the day, but I think it's great to see that my students are interested in their work for me when they have the time to do it. Plus, it gives me a great way to talk to students about time management, commitments, and prioritizing the things in your life (even if it ends up that my class works isn't the priority, it still opens up that window!). One quick note: I've found that many people don't see the difference between the Private Com...
