You may remember my first Tech Three post. The LMC-Tech teachers at my school sends out a monthly tech tips email. Well, here is the latest from me - January's Google-themed Tech Three:
1. Create Google Docs quickly from anywhere in your browser! You do have to use Chrome, but all you have to do is download the free Google Docs Quick Create extension for Chrome. It adds a button to the Chrome toolbar so you can create a new doc, presentation, or spreadsheet with one click! (I'm in love with this!)
2. Google Drive has a new feature for tracking your file activity. Clicking on the ⓘ icon that appears in your Drive home screen displays a stream of activity showing you who has most recently taken action on your files. You can also select an individual file to view activity for that particular doc. This does not replace the Revision history on a document! Check it out more here.
3. Turn on Desktop Notifications for Gmail! You'll see a pop-up when a new message arrives so you can keep track of your mail without really checking it. The notifications work in Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. (Just keep this in mind if you're projecting your laptop!) Follow these steps to turn notifications on.
