Episode 12: Timely Tidbits Challenge
Welcome to episode 12 of Somethin’ to Tech About! We are excited to be recording again and hope everyone is staying happy and healthy!
In our weekly newsletter, we share Timely Tidbits and thought we would share them with our listeners! And if you haven’t subscribed to our newsletter, fill out the info in the footer to begin receiving our weekly newsletter full of tips, tricks, and those timely tidbits.
- Dualless-Split/Merge Windows - quickly split your screen.
- Nod Reactions- emoji reactions for muted members in Google Meet.
- Sir Links A-Lot- one click for Force Copy, Preview Template and more
- Google Meet Attendance- collect attendance during Meet.
- Google Sites Updates: When we posted S1 E7 Writing Portfolios that Wow!, Google Sites did not have portfolio templates. We are happy to share that as of 4/23/2020, Google Sites now has templates and one specifically for portfolios. Also added were Announcement Banners to highlight important information. Find out more at G Suite Updates.
- Draftback Extension: Shout out to Meri New for bringing this one to our attention! Version history in video form. Draftback lets you play the Version history of any Google Doc you can edit. It's like going back in time to look over your own shoulder as you write. Add the extension Draftback.
- Open Dyslexic Font for Chrome: With just a simple click, you can change the fonts used on websites to the OpenDyslexic font, a font to increase readability for readers with dyslexia. Add the Open Dyslexic Font extension today.
- Pear Deck Power-Up: This extension is a must-have if you use Pear Deck to add interactivity to your slide decks. This week, we both presented Pear Deck remotely and were sure to mention the Pear Deck Power Up because the Power-up ensures that videos, animations, and GIFs embedded in your Pear Deck slides, play the way they should.
Stay safe and invite your teacher friends to subscribe and download our podcast so they can also give us Somethin’ to Tech About. Thanks for listening!
