Digital Presence & Communication + Image Search + Graphing and Converting with Chrome

Digital Presence and Communication

Many teachers are using Schoology, Google Classroom, or a blend of the two in their classrooms. After questions about expectations for using these tools, we constructed two models that meet the criteria for digital presence and communication.

Teachers should clearly communicate which approach below is being used and select the combination of tools that makes classroom information most accessible for your students and parents. We want to provide teachers with the flexibility to leverage the tools that make the most sense for each subject and grade level.

Search Smarter for Images

This video will show you how to search for images that are labeled for reuse so that you (or your students) do not need to obtain permission from the owner of the image to use it. In addition, this video will show you how to search images by size, color, or style. 

Graph with the Chrome Browser

Google can now graph any function entered into the search bar if the word "graph" is entered before the trigonometric function. Example: graph cos(x)

Convert with the Chrome Browser

Google can convert measurements entered into the search bar if the word "convert" is entered before the measurement quantity followed by "to" the unit of measurement you want to convert to. Example: convert 5 gallons to liters
