Google Docs Templates

Alright,

So Google Docs is starting to become more of an everyday or at least 1 time a week usage for educators.  The reason being is the collaboration piece of being able to work on a document together and/or have someone help out you instead of providing a document to someone and then you having to do the work to enhance the document based on their suggestions.  Google Docs provides the opportunity for many educators to work together to better enhance their instruction and learning, as we have come to know that we do not know everything.

Another part of Google Docs that greatly supports the collaboration piece is find a Template within Google Docs that someone has so graciously shared for us to look at for potential use or at least to spark ideas to better guide our thoughts.

Once you are logged into Google Docs, to find a Template,
Click on "Create" and then "from Template"
Once you click on "from Template" you can sort between Public Templates, HDCSD Templates, Templates I've Use, My Templates.
Click "Public Templates"
Once in "Public Templates" the easiest way to find what you are looking for, such as Periodic Table, is by searching for it at the top of the page.
Once you search for a Template you can "Preview" it or if you click "Use This Template" it will actually be put it within your Google Docs list for your use.
If you Use This Template, depending on how it was created, you either have to use it as is or you can modify it and save it as your own.

I have found some great Templates to use related to the Periodic Table, Note Cards, and more.
