TIP: Collaborating in Google Docs - Using Suggestion Mode

Do you have students collaborating in Google Docs yet (multiple students working in one Google Doc)?

If so, you might want to teach them about Suggestion Mode. I didn't know about this but just saw this great article on Twitter.


Instead of kids just overwriting someone elses work, they can truly collaborate and make suggestions on how things are worded then the author of that portion can determine if that's a change they want to make or not and they can discuss why.

This is also great for us adults as well.

Single Page in Chrome is Really Small


I have seen a few kids in the repair center today with this issue.

If they have a page in their Chrome browser, such as their Google search page, or even in Google Docs, Sheets or Slides that is very small on the screen, press Ctrl and + to zoom it back in. You will see at the top right of the screen the percentage it is on as you zoom in. Put it back to 100%.

Ctrl and - is zoom out.
