We’ve said it for more than a year … Students can’t officially use AI chatbots because they’re not old enough per the terms of use … but student-facing chatbots are coming. Now they’re finally here. Holly and Matt have used them — and have worked with students in the classroom using AI chatbots. In this episode, we share the things we like about them — and things to be aware of.
2. Google Slides when you want to get a little fancier
The first is the simpler of the two.
How to Add a Background in Google Docs
You go to file—>Page setup—>-Page color and select the color and viola change made. Congrats you are a pro!
This second way to add a background in google docs comes from a guest post by Bethany Petty. You can visit her blog here
Another Way To Add a Background in Google Docs – Here is the Trick
USE GOOGLE SLIDES!👏
If you want to create a colorful and vibrant flyer or poster using Microsoft Word, then you simply insert a background image and adjust the object transparency.
It’s also easy to manipulate the size and position of the image on the page.
This is not the case if you’re using Google Docs.
Here’s a workaround for adding backgrounds in Google Docs…complete with screenshots!
Open a Google Slides presentation and do these three simple steps.
1. Access “File” then “Page Setup.”
2. Next, select the “Custom” option, and set the size to 8.5 x 11.
Your presentation screen should now look a little different…
3. Right-click on the slide in the slide pane, choose “Apply Layout,” and select “Blank.”
4. Select “Background” and choose “Image.”
Drag your image to fill the page, or to fit the desired area.
5. Next, I added a rectangle shape and changed the shape color to white. This allows space for text while still preserving the “pretty” background.
6. Finally, choose to add a text box or paste text from a different source!
By using this method, you can still collaborate with others just as I would do by using a Google Doc. I can also download the presentation as a PDF for printing purposes.
