Making the Most Out of the Most LEGIT Google Doc Feature
Inserting a picture directly from the webcam of your computer into a Google Document is a, IMO, freaking powerfully simple strategy in the classroom. It was gone, but NOW IT'S BACK! YES!

- Insert images of question artifacts or answer choices into a Google Form.
- Insert images of questions or diagrams on a whiteboard or piece of paper in a Google Slide.
- Insert images of prototypes during a design cycle into a Google Doc.
- insert images from a lab a Google Sheet that is collecting quantitive data about the lab.
- Insert images of evidence of learning during a project.
