District-Wide Digital Learning Day- #75
Autocorrect with Google Docs
Autocorrect helps you compose documents quickly and with confidence. Misspelled words will automatically be corrected while typing and denoted with a grey dashed underline. As you continue typing, this dashed line will disappear.
If you need to undo a correction, you can simply hit backspace, select "Undo" while hovering over the autocorrected word, or use keyboard shortcuts like Command+Z.
Please know that we are unable to turn this feature off.
Smart Compose for Google Docs
Smart Compose helps you compose high quality content in Google Docs faster and more easily. it saves you time by cutting back on repetitive writing, helps reduce the chance of spelling and grammatical errors, and can suggest relevant contextual phrases.

Mathigon Polypad Manipulative Tool
Not only do they have the Polypad, but they have several other online activities as well. This would be a great tool to put in a HyperDoc.
The only thing I ask is that you do not have your students or yourself create an official account, as their terms of services state they sell information to third parties.
Don't forget that you and your students can add this to their ClassLink, or contact Mr. Lascsak to have him push it to your campus.
