Just tell me!

Have some text that you want your Chromebook to read? It can! Your Chromebook can read passages that you highlight, if you have an extension called Select and Speak . Talk to me please! If you install it, you can highlight text, and get the chromebook to tell you what the highlight says! Highlight the text and press the extension button on the top of the chrome window. Watch the video for more detail. Google Docs can do the opposite. You can talk to your chromebook, and it will type what you say. Go to Tools, and Voice typing. Give it a try! Just remember to say words like 'period' and 'question mark' and it will add the punctuation. Remember, this does not take the place of your editing work! Check to make sure that it is using the correct words, (for example: to, too, and two). Hope this helps you to use your Chrome browser or Chromebook more effectively.

Google Sheets

Google Sheets is the G Suite's version of a spreadsheet. Spreadsheets are an electronic document in which data is arranged in the rows and columns of a grid and can be manipulated and used in calculations. In MS office, Spreadsheets are created in Excel. Most formulas that work in Excel, also work in Sheets. Here is a simple tutorial of some basic functions, in under 5 minutes.

YouTube Settings for Students

Waupaca Middle School is getting ready to have YouTube open for all students. In Spanish class, students are starting to create content for their 'Mi Familia' project. In this project, students will be creating videos and editing them directly in YouTube, with YouTube editor . These are the recommended settings for students for Privacy concerns. With these settings, your videos will only be shared with people that you give the link to, and no one else. They are not searchable, and cannot be commented on by others.
