OK, I'm SO EXCITED about the dropdown!! I love making to do lists and checklists to keep track of projects, and I've been color coding by highlighting to show the status of each item on my list. Now I can use dropdowns! This is an update I would never have seen on my own, so I'm very grateful 🙏
Yess! It makes things so much easier! Thank you so much for watching and commenting Jackie! 🥰
yess! it makes things so much easier thank you so much for watching and commenting jackie!
Thanks Michelle! Always love your tips and tricks!
Thanks for the great updates! Keep 'em coming! This is so helpful. :)
Thank you, Michelle - another great vid to help teachers improve their practice. I too am a fan of drop downs etc. All learning is good learning :)
These videos are so helpful! Keep them.coming, please.
Great updates that can be easily implemented in the classroom. Thanks Michelle!
LOVE the drop-down! I had no idea that was added, and I consider myself pretty Google-savvy!
This is so helpful!
Thank you so much. Can you please continue to make videos like these? Thank you!
Love that GF has more fonts and font size!! Finally!
All your videos are very clear and informative. I like them keep the good work. Thank you so much.
I use the email draft Building Block with my supervisor and team all the time! It works so seamlessly with the new Approval tool as well. I can draft a newsletter with my team and get various department heads to give their approval. So slick!
Aww, that's so great! I'm happy you're able to use those features! Yes, drafting the email with other people is one of the best ways to use the email building block! Thank you so much for watching and commenting Jenna! 🥰
aww thats so great im happy youre able to use those features yes, drafting the email with other people is one of the best ways to use the email building block thank you so much for watching and commenting Jenna!
Your videos are the best!!
Thanks Michelle.
I LOVE your Google videos! Anything that helps creating teaching resources easier. I did not know about the image block. Game changer!!!
Aww, thank you so much for watching and commenting Christina! 🥰 I'm so happy you were able to learn something new!
Great tips! The email draft Building Block could also be used if you’re collaborating on an email with others. For example, information going out to families from a grade level team. Or, you could even teach your students how to use it if they wanted to email a teacher about a group project. A fun way to teach collaboration on communication!
Yes! I meant to mention that but completely forgot... the email building block is PERFECT for drafting emails together! Thank you so much for watching and commenting!

Thanks for your informative video, Michelle! I am not as knowledgeable about Google products since my county uses all Microsoft products. Thank you so much for helping me to better understand and use Google products. As always, have a wonderful week! Thanks for all you do! 😊
Ugh, I would NOT be able to function if my district was all Microsoft, LOL! Slightly dramatic but also probably true! I'm so happy you're able to use my videos anyway though and I appreciate you commenting as always Mandy! Have a GREAT week ahead! 🥰🖤🎉
Thank you so much for your tutorials! I so appreciate them! Learning so much from you 😊
Thank you so much for watching and commenting Elizabeth! 🥰

Very helpful. These are helpful as a staff developer as well. Would love more like this. Especially if it helps staff developers.
That's so great to hear Yvette! Thank you so much for watching and commenting and I'll definitely considering making more like this! 🥰

i can already tell i’m going to love this video! and i’m so early this week!
Thank you so much for watching and commenting Maddie! I'm happy you were able to check it out early! 🥰
thank you
All in all, a fantastic summation of updates. Bravo! I was saddened, however, to hear that you did not find many of the Sheets updates interesting or useful for teachers. The Timeline feature (found in the Insert menu) has a lot of potential (although I acknowledge that this may not yet have been released when you recorded your video). I also think the new functions that were added, including the ability to create custom functions, are extremely powerful for data-minded teachers (originally announced in August but later delayed until late September). Keep the great videos coming!
Hi Levi! Thanks for sharing your feedback! This video was recorded right as the timeline feature was being released so I didn't have an opportunity to truly experience it before recording this video. As for the custom functions, I do think that's a great feature but I'm not sure if it's something a majority of teachers would need/use. Of course, if you have a different list of updates you think would be helpful, you're always welcome to create your own video to share!
Love your videos! I could use a video on Theme Builders in Google Slides.
good work
I *love* your bookmark bar! How do you get just icons? Mine show the icon, plus the first part of the link name. Did you arrange them or is there a way to automatically sort them by color?
Thank you Michelle!!
Thank you so much for watching and commenting Gail! 🖤

I love all your videos. You made my classwork more easy, thanks 🙏

Stellar video! I would love to use the Drop Down option for my Scope & Sequence. Do you happen to have a sample of how to apply this or how to incorporate this option on a doc?
Amazing as usual!! ❤️
Thank you so much for watching and commenting Nichola! I'm so happy you enjoyed it! 🥰

Another awesome helpful video!! Michelle, would you ever be interested in doing a tutorial for teachers on Notion? I just started playing around with a teacher page on Notion to keep all of my weekly plans, Google calendar, docs and slides in one spot. It’s pretty great to see the big picture of everything. I’d love to see a tutorial video of your creative take on it!
Thank you so much for watching and commenting Kirsten! 🥰 I personally have used Notion too much... I'm familiar with it but I feel like it's just another tool which provides some benefit but also adds a level of complexity that isn't quite necessary for most. But, I'll keep it in mind for future videos!
@@PocketfulofPrimary Thanks for responding! Yes, I agree that Notion is very "extra" for the most part. I think I am liking it so far as I am student teaching because it's helping me keep track of all the new things I have to learn and keep track of all that I might otherwise forget. It's fixing the out-of-sight/out-of-mind problem for me. 😄

LOCKED MODE IS THE BEST. I love going to the ones who try to close and reopen and letting them know I get notified when they close it and reopen it. They are SHOCKED. 😂
Hahaha, gotta love it! Thank you so much for watching and commenting Kaydee! 🥰
haha got to love it
Thank you so much for these teacher tips and hacks. I truly appreciate your videos. When I watched your anchor chart one (printing is as an anchor chart), I couldn’t get it to work. Are you not able to do this on a Chromebook? Thanks for your help!
Thank you so much for watching and commenting Tammy! 🥰 Do you mean printing the anchor chart poster size? You need to make sure you have Adobe Acrobat Reader downloaded on the Chromebook first and then open the anchor chart in Adobe Acrobat when printing. Hopefully that helps!
Thank you for another informative video! I love that you provide us with this information and take out the guesswork! I do have a Google Sheets question for you. I revamped a district wide form that was in Google Docs and put it in Google Sheets (thank you for your awesome Google Sheets tutorial. I was always so intimidated by Sheets until your series). This form goes out to individuals in Google Classroom as a copy so they can fill it out. Is there any way to protect cells when you make a copy for someone? I feel like there isn't, but I figured if there was a way to do this, you would be the one to ask! Thanks again for all of your hard work and dedication to your fans!
Thank you so much for watching and commenting as always! 🥰 I'm so happy you enjoyed this video! That's a great question... as far as I know, there isn't a way to protect the cell once a copy is made. Only if you provided a view-only link. But, maybe that's something that will change in the future!
The email chip CAN be useful. One example might be that you need to collaborate drafting an email to school parents with your team or principal. In that case so you could start a google doc and add the email chip and share it with your collaborator(s). Then once you are all satisfied that your message is clear you can then use the M icon to send your email to the school parents.
This was awesome! I love being able to use google to its potential.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting Sandy! 🥰

The email drafts are GREAT if you are on a team and often send emails as a group. For example, I'm a Digital Learning Integrationist on a team of 5. It has made it SO much easier for us to collaborate on an email. Classroom teachers may not find this super mind-blowing, but admin and other leadership teams do/will!
Yes, exactly! The email drafts are perfect for email collaborations! I had that on my list to mention but completely forgot to say it in the video.
@@PocketfulofPrimary You were great! You covered so much! We are also thinking middle school/ HS who may want to email parents as a team. Thank you for the great content!

Is there a way to reach out to you to see if you have a certain type of data template available? I teach a Certified nursing assistant program and the students have to check off 56 skills prior to clinical. They have three attempts to pass each skill and I need a method of tracking this information easily. I am not very good a creating spreadsheets but I have been practicing using your videos. Any help or information to purchase such templates is appreciated. By the way, I love your videos and the look of your materials.
Another great video!! I have 2 questions: 1 How can you have a certain font instead of Ariel? I like using Centry Goth but it always goes toAriel. 2, I have a Mac and about a month ago when I turned it on it’s making an awful bell sound. How do you get rid that? I have watched a few videos and can’t get it to stop. Can you help? As always, thank you so much for helping us!!!
Hi Heather! Thank you so much for watching! I need a little more clarification for your questions... when you say "have a certain font," do you mean in Google Docs or Google Slides? For Google Docs, you would need to change your default style settings (you can Google to find directions on this if you need them). For Google Slides, there isn't currently a way to set your default font unless you make a copy of a set of slides where you have already set the theme to be the way you want. For your Mac, when is it making a bell sound? You most likely would need to change your sounds in your system preferences but it's hard to say without more information.
I’m looking forward to the Google Practice Sets that are to come out in 2023.
There are still some features I miss: being able to set a timer in Google Forms. (I know there’s a way to get it, but I work at a public school in Sweden, and my county won’t allow us to install plug-ins onto our computers).
A way to create puzzles of an image in Google Slides (once again, saw this as a plug-in, but this time for PowerPoint - that they charged $40 for).
Thank you so much for watching and commenting Jessika! 🥰 I agree... it would be FANTASTIC if Google added a timer option to Google Forms (or even Google Slides for that matter) without the need for a plug-in.
@@PocketfulofPrimary Indeed! I’ve seen so many great videos on sites like Nearpod but we’re not allowed to use them due to GDPR. So a way to include timers would be awesome - that way it would be easier to let kids who were absent from class to do their homework check-up or a quick quiz at home.
@@PocketfulofPrimary another feature that would be great to have is to merge document (kind of like you have various spreadsheets in Excel), and before you open a pupil’s document it would be great to see how many pages they’ve written.
I would have loved to be able to change the background colour for various pages.
I would also like for there to be a way for me to lock detain texts so that the kids can’t change the instructions when I make it so that they have a document each to edit. I’ve had multiple experiences where a kid somehow manages to delete or alter the instructions in a document. Likewise I’d love to be able to lock what font and spacing they’re to use, as well as how many pages/words they’d be able to write (minimum and maximum).
You give me total Mayim Bialik just post Blossom days vibes.
I love how your chrome bookmarks are in rainbow order!
Hahaha, me too! It's very aesthetically pleasing!
haha me too thank you
Can you explain Smart Chips a little bit more? Is a smart chip like inserting a link for a document or file in your google drive?
So are chips like hyperlinks?
Yes and no! When you add a chip for a file, it works like a hyperlink. But, the chips for contacts are a little more interactive because it gives you options to send emails, start video calls, schedule events, etc. so there are some added benefits of using the smart chips!
I've never been this early to a video!
Same lol
Thank you so much for watching and commenting Nicole! I'm happy you made it early this week! 🥰
@@PocketfulofPrimary I also came early lol
thank you sooooo much!!!
What are the top 5 good behavior at school
I'm not sure what exactly you're asking... do you mean for students? There is no clear answer to a question like this.
I use the Chromebook lock on Google form because I give them a multiple choice Quiz!!! Do you know why they removed the translate option from Google slides?
That's great that you're able to use that feature Claudia! Nope, I'm not sure. You'd have to reach out to someone at Google for the answer to that one!
thats great
Is there a way to be able to write vertically in any of the google apps???
Yes and no... you can always insert a text box and rotate it 90 or 270 degrees to make the text vertical but obviously that isn't available in some Google Apps like Google Forms (although you can add images in Google Forms so you could design the text in Google Slides and save the slide as an image to upload to Google Forms).
@@PocketfulofPrimary thanks for the tips!!
Lock mode for chromebook is not new? Been around for years. :) Just wish for lock mode for docs.
Thank you!
