Watermarks. New in Google Docs
Adding an image watermark to Google Docs used to be cumbersome. It involved embedding Google Drawings and several somewhat tedious steps such as them pasting the text into a text box and then finally uploading it to docs
But now, it’s all right there in Google Docs.
Not earth-shattering. I know. But sometimes little things that make work easier go a long way.
IORAD and Google/ Canvas Integrations
This post serves two purposes.
- We want to feature IORAD. If you want to make a simple step by step interactive instructions for students as seen below, use the IORAD extension. You’ll see that you will actually click through the steps. Is there an easier way to show how to do something? click “Start” below.
- Our other purpose is to show how easy it is to embed a Google Doc right into Canvas. Alex Pearson also posted a video on how to do this as well.
Here’s an interactive tutorial
To make your own IORAD, get the Chrome Extension. (and watch the tutorial)
