Create a Word Cloud Within Your Google Documents

Create a Word Cloud Within Your Google Documents | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it

"Once upon a time there was a Google Spreadsheets script that would create word clouds for you. When the new (current) version of Google Spreadsheets was launched that script stopped working. This morning I found a replacement for that old script."

Beth Dichter's insight:

If you or your students use Google Docs they can quickly generate a word cloud when their document has 100 or more words. Richard Byrne provides clear instructions in this post as well as suggestions on how your students might use the word cloud to help them revise, to find words the may have over used and more!

Google Docs adds add-ons — @joycevalenza NeverEndingSearch

Google Docs adds add-ons — @joycevalenza NeverEndingSearch | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it

"Take a close look at the Google Doc or Sheet you likely have open right now and you’ll see something new on a tab about the WYSIWYG tools.

Last week Google launched add-ons–easily accessible tools created by Google’s developer partners that offer on-the-fly features for your documents and spreadsheets."

Beth Dichter's insight:

Google has just launched add-ons, tools that provide more resources for you to use with Google Doc and Sheet. Over fifty are now available (and more are expected to be added). A few are listed below.

* EasyBib Bibliography generator allows you to search EasyBib and generate citations (MLA, APA and Chicago Manual)

* Open Clip Art provides quick access to over 50,000 images you can insert

* Kazena Shortcut allows you to provide audio feedback with Google Doc and Sheet

* LucidChart allows you to insert a mindmap, flow chart or diagram directly into your doc (and LucidDiagram is also available)

* ProWriting Aid - check for plagiarism, grammar and redundant phrases

The post includes a short video as well as listing some of the other tools available.
