I have so many great tips to share that I decided to make this a series. Below are a few ideas and resources to get you started with the new feature in Google Docs and Sheets: Google Add-Ons.
Add-Ons for Google Docs and Sheets
If you missed the announcement last week, Google launched a new feature in Docs and Sheets: Add-Ons. Add-Ons allow you to use third-party apps to make Google Docs and Sheets even better. For instance, Avery has an Add-On that makes it a snap to create labels in Google Docs. The new store of Add-Ons has something for everybody. Add-Ons will appear in the toolbar when you create a new document or sheet.
If I am speaking a foreign language to you, check out the tutorials from Jay Atwood that explain it all! Doctopus can make a teacher's life so much easier! Below is a tutorial to get you started with Doctopus and the Add-Ons Gallery.
