General Tips and Hacks
- Link to Text Fragment is a chrome extension I just found out about! It is a quick and easy way to create a link to a specific part of a web page. It allows you to direct people to a specific portion of an article, a menu, etc.
Google Hacks
- Slides Carnival provides many great slides themes and alternatives to those provided in Google docs. My personal favourites are Tybalt, Ely, Woodville, Quickly, and Eglamour.
- Slides Go is another great place for slides themes. They organise their templates a little differently than Slides Carnival and I am still exploring this awesome resource. So far, my favourites are Bokeh Lights and Watercolor Texture.
- Extensis Fonts provides lots of extra fonts to your Google items!
iPad Apps
- Procreate is my favourite drawing app. It does cost around $10.00, but for me it is worth it. To see some of the art I've created using Procreate, click here.
- Notability is my go to app for taking notes, making annotations, and recording things for professional development. It also costs around $10, and lets you create new docs (with a variety of paper backgrounds, grid is my favourite), mark up PDFs, add gifs and images, highlight, draw, and so much more. I often export these as PDFs and put them online for my students.
- Skitch is a free app that I often use to make annotated version of stories. It cannot work with PDFs, but is great for marking up pictures of texts.
