We had a Jessup “family meeting” yesterday and during the meeting I let staff and faculty know the results of the training requests so far – Google, Google, Google. Google Drive. Google Docs. Google Presentation. Google Hangout. People want to know more about Google and desire to know how to use the many (many) resources available.
Amazing news today.
Google has released ADD-ONS.
These add-ons will amaze you.
In Google Docs, click the word “Add-Ons”…
Click “Get Add-Ons”…
Now browse the list and add them! Here are a few to get you started. There are more – so go take a look for yourself!
Do you have email addresses stored in a Google spreadsheet? If so, this add-on will send an e-mail merge directly from your Google Doc.
