Creating and Using a Google Form Quiz

Thank you Tony for sharing this week's tip!

Google can do a lot of things and most recently they have updated their Google Forms to have a built in feature to grade quizzes.  Below is an image that is a link to a document that will walk you through these steps!

Google Sheets: Split Text to Columns

The following is a blog post by Alice Keeler.  (If the images below don't work, go directly to the blog post).

When you copy and paste into Google Sheets you will notice an option will automatically appear allowing you to split the text into columns. Choose the delineator and poof, text is split.

Data Menu

You can also manually activate text to columns by highlighting your data and choosing “Split text to columns” from the Data menu.

Eats Data

Note that choosing to split text to columns will eat the data in adjacent columns. Tip to insert blank columns before splitting your text to columns.

Printer Settings and Presets

With our new copiers, you can set them to double side, hole punch and/or staple.  Below is a quick screencast on how to create those settings.

Alice Keeler has a great blog post tutorial on how to do this.  Take a look:
