I believe that these tools can become a tremendous aid for us teachers. We live in an era where we can rely on technology to help us become better teachers. These tools provide a way of bettering ourselves as teachers, by doing this we can provide the most optimal learning experience for our students.
Jeanette Banda's curator insight, May 23, 2020 10:41 PM
I appreciate the useful resources for Google Docs. I like the add-ons with descriptions. This provides easy ways to quickly input anything use from citations/bibliographies to template sheets. As educators, we're always on the go and this would be a great way to save time.
Efren Cardozo's curator insight, January 28, 2023 1:51 PM

You can find help creating a bibliography page, translating text, inserting maps and diagrams, recording audio feedback, and making a table of contents in the sidebar for easy navigation.
