I enjoy how you assume that we know (or can figure out) all the small steps in between what you're teaching. Makes for such an engaging video! I wish all tutorials like this. Excellent work!
Excellent presentation. The right amount of time was spent on each subject. Not too much, not too little.
Thank you! Really appreciate it
Excellent video. My favorite so far - is the citation format. Makes things so much easier. I have to watch this one over a few times and then duplicate what you're doing. So many time-saving tips included here. Thank you!
Super video! Users often overlook the ability to add more fonts. Great tip!
I agree. I often get asked about fonts. Hopefully we'll get the option to upload our own in the future.
Thank you very much for this lesson. I love the "explore" feature with the citation.
Your right to the point. Easy to follow and your speed is refreshing. So many people talk to slow and have too much side talk. I appreciate the in and out
Thank you! Really appreciate that.
Wonderful tips. Thank you. Link saved for reference.
I use Google Docs totally online, I ever print anything, so in Page Setup I change the colour of the page. As a Masters student, I have different colours for uni work (pale yellow), my daily personal journal (pink) and for documents that my husband needs to see (blue) and quite a few others. And I know instantly by looking at the page what kind of document I'm looking at. This is also really useful if you use Google Docs on your phone, because the colours stand out when scrolling! Thank you for your video, I struggled for ages to work out how to put a video in, and now I know! :)
How does a student able to write on a google class assignment in google doc?
@@evelynquintana3832 just go to google docs, type it and save it ... its just like microsoft word
Wow you refreshed all my knowledge of docs and sheets that I built up through out the years in a very simple and clear way. I like all but explore is more . Keep it up
The features that I found most useful were the ability to cite sources, sharing the document with others that don't have google suites, and the adding of the video into a google doc. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you for that! I hope we will soon see full embedded video, but in the meantime the workaround definitely does the trick! Hopefully we'll get some more citation formats in the future but for now, it's a great start.
Thanks, you're a great help and I learned a lot watching your tutorials
Excellent as always. Great communicator. Many thanks
The explore function! Thanks for a great tutorial.
Thank you! Explore is brilliant. I especially like the way its designed to save us time.
super clear - such a natural delivery so easy to understand
Just learning Google Docs, such great information!! I especially like voice typing and the explore button, WOW!! I'll keep watching it! Thanks
Great tips! Thank you!
I'm just learning Google Docs now, and although I didn't understand everything yet, I like your clear and engaging style. Will definitely watch more!
The Explore function...simply brilliant!
Perfect! Learnt new stuff. Loved the explore button but everything else was great! Thank you so much! :)
I love these videos!!! Keep em coming!!!
Thank you! I sure will :-)
Excellent! Thanks for sharing these videos!
You're welcome! Do let me know which topic you would like to see more of.
A great video, truly useful. My favorite is the Explore button Thanks a lot!!
I love all the functions that google doc provides. specially Citation tips. that's amazing and easy. Super easy to use.
Well done! Thank you very much.
What a great video! Respect.
Excellent tut! I'm a very old Wordperfect dude, and have only just discovered the possibilities of Google Docs. I now use a laptop - Windows - a smartphone, and an android tablet, so need a WP that is easy to use, and can be shared between platforms. Thanks for sharing.
LOVE IT!!--You are a rock star!
Nice video, so crisp and clear. No long and cringe intro video, short to the point and no jargon. It also covers many interesting features that I completely missed even after I already using google docs for years!
Even if this a 3 years old video, things barely changed and I found it still relevant today, albeit I can't find some cover up feature that google docs implemented recently.
Glad you liked it!
Tip 1,10,14 and 15 are new for me..wow, thats amazing,,thank you
Thankx mate ,very useful Info..
Parabéns, teus videos são ótimos. Cada vez mais com Google Docs.
Thanks! Great ideas!
The Explorer tip is my favorite because I'm always opening another tap instead now I can see it side by side when I'm researching something! Nice thanks alot. I was trying to look for different ways to advance so this was good!
Excellent presentation. Very useful.
What is the Google Docs short cut equivalent for MSWord "Ctrl+Shift+Enter: Insert a column break"?
Great tutorial! Thanks.
I like the explore function. Great.
I like the assigning comments, that can come in handy, especially since it requires action from the recipient. Great video.
It's such a useful feature. Especially when editing documents or planning an event with many people involved, assigning makes a huge difference as to making sure everyone is aware of action points.
My favorite tool is Templates in g-mail. I write similar emails to clients often. I can store paragraph clauses in the Templates section which saves me time and keeps my messages accurate when stipulating terms and payments, etc.
wow the explore function is my favorite, but I will need to watch this vid another time to really get it. thanks
Great, thanks so much.
You are great sir . Thank you for all this great informative INFO
Thank you!
I love linking urls to make them HyperDocs. Thank you for all of these videos. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you for sharing that! Hyperdocs are amazing! I love that you can link between many different filetypes as well.
Simply Amazing
Awesome bonus tips
This is excellent! Thank you, thank you!
You're very welcome!
My favorite is the explore function. Teachers are having to teach from home and we are having to use google forms. I want to make the more appealing for my students.
Learning an educator to use Google apps and these vids have been helpful💜
Very helpful all the way.
Excellent video. I like it.Thanks.
I Love the way you explain and alight one after the other
Thank you for some amazing tips. It will definitely save our time and make life easy. 🙂
Just love it all these tips and tricks
Thank you!
Thank you so much for your google tips, all are great!!
You're welcome! Thank you for leaving a comment.
explore and citation tips !!!! AMAZING
Brilliant! Thank you for sharing!
I like the Explore for Google Docs. I had only used Explore for Google Slides . Very powerful tip.
Awsome! its a good video that teaches all the features...
Excellent ..thank you for sharing
undoubtedly great video
That was awesome and so helpful!
Thank you!
Amazing tips Thank you!
Best of all was inserting video in docs. There is no need to open doc and video separately when creating interactive content.
I agree, having all in one place is super helpful for our students. And it helps to create more engaging content.
I like this video. Thank you. I like the citation and adding video. Thank you.
Thanks great channel and Tips👍
So many things I didn't know before! Thanks for the work-around for inserting a video. Great to know. Do you know any tricks for inserting a table from Excel into a Google doc?
You are Very good at this Thank you!
Thank you!
This is a useful tutorial. I particularly like the wokaround for inserting videos as this enables one to prepare a combined audio and textual tutorial or presentation. A video is going to add bulk. Are there memory restrictions on how much you can share in this way?
Another great tutorial thanks.
I think you can also hyperlink an inserted Google drawing to a video.
You can even create multiple hyperlinks within one Google drawing
What I'd like to see is a text to speech reader (for proofreading) like the excellent Android ones.
I've seen a few addons but none of them are so impressive so far.
Yes, a hyperlink works as well as a set of multiple videos within a single drawing. I agree with what you say about the add ons. Make sure to use the feedback button in the help menu. The team at Google actions the most requested features.
Hi Sethi, thanks for your great videos on teaching. I have a specific question, hope it been a question of many. When you open an attached pdf file in google docs, you find the images missing. Any particular add-on that can bring the images in the right position in the Google Docs. Thanks again.
Explorer & Video are the most for me. Thank you so much for your great work and help!
Thank you!
I liked the insert video tip, it was awesome
I loved the tip on Explore. Thanks
Great work indeed.Thanks Sir.
Thank you!
All features are great sir...thanks you
You're welcome
Very good.
These are AWESOME tips!! Tysm for creating this for us.
Thank you for taking the time to comment! Appreciate it
great really helpful
Thank you very helpful will use these tips ❤❤❤❤👍👍
Great to hear that. Thank you for taking the time to comment
These Google applications are awesome. They are uniquely and creatively designed. I really laud Google for such needed creation
I love all the tips
THe explore button it's so conveniente, my favorite above all else!
I love the exploring in google Docs
Great video thank you so much. Is there a function to add sum in the table?
Thank you. I think it would be good to preface these by pointing out some of these tips - like no.1* - are only available through Chrome. I couldn’t understand why I didn’t have the mic and voice type in my Docs and I had to search on the internet for a clue. It’s worth pointing out because others, such as the adding fonts, are not dependent on using Chrome, so a bit confusing at first. *Actually, it may be the only one!
Auto text is one I'll use that I didn't know about. Also the tip on how to share with an email address outside of Gmail. Thank you!
That was a super presentation.
Your videos are so helpful to me in getting real value from Google's amazing free tools.
Over the last year i have introduced Chromeboxes, ChromeOS and Google cloud computing to my everyday life almost completely abandoning Microsoft Windows. I find more potential there every day.
I realise that you aim your videos at the education fraternity but they are equally helpful to the oldies fraternity too, I left education 52 years ago, long before personal computers were even dreamed of and have always enjoyed new knowledge, new skills, and finding better ways to do things in everyday life. Your videos are really stimulating.
Thank you for taking the time and leaving this kind and encouraging comment. I try my best to provide as much helpful content and as many useful videos as possible, so hearing that you founs it useful has made my day!
great video, app script function is very unique for me , it can help programmers to reduce the time and to adapt new learning Methods
Good guidance...
Thanks
The EXPLORE button!! This is genius, all of it, for someone who’s never edited w/ Docs.
😘 MWAH!
Thanks a lot !
You're welcome
Favourite: Explore and Styles
Awesome : the workaround for vidoes. 😁
link a comment , email collaborator, explore, and so on actually all of them, good on you mate...
I have learnt, and am still learning, from your videos. Thank you. :)
Thank you! Great to see you are enjoying the content!
@@FlippedClassroomTutorials Hi, I'm setting up a Knowledge Base for Australian Schools. I have a Google Site that I want to share and can password protect it using Google Forms. But .... once someone has access to the Google Site itself (having entered the correct password) what's stopping them from going directly into the Google Site directly later ... and sharing it with other schools if they want to? Any ideas? :|
Great sir
smart tips... had no idea they existed or how to use them... thanks
Superb wonderful sir
Thanks 🥂
Absolutely brilliant! One problem nagging me for a while. I am an aspiring freelance content writer.
I need to make a writing portfolio on Google Docs to show that to clients but I am confused about how to share my content with my clients in a professional way?
Secondly, to do that which one should come first, Google Docs or Google drive?
Please help.
The last citation one has amazed me
I've learned how to insert videos on Google docs thanks to this tutorial. By the way, how do I inset another doc into the one I'm currently working on? I mean, I'd like to have one doc out of two. Thanks. New subscriber.
i appreciated the Explore feature, Great presentation!
Glad you liked it!
