When you need to use a mathematical symbol, click the “Insert Symbol” tool, where you can choose or search from a wide selection. Once you have found the correct symbol, click it, and it will appear in your text box. You can always access formulas through your Text Box editor!
How to add images
You can upload images directly from your computer, your Google Drive, OneDrive, or from Google image search. Type in an image you want to find into Google Image Search, select the image you want, hit “Insert,” and click to drop it into your assignment.
How to add videos
With videos, you can embed video files from your computer, your Google Drive, OneDrive, or by using the YouTube search feature. Paste in the YouTube URL, hit “Next,” then click to drop your video into your assignment.
How to add Graphic Organizers
The Add Media tool is also where you’ll find Graphic Organizers to create Venn diagrams, charts, and mind maps. To use, select the graphic organizer you want and click to drop it onto your assignment.
How to add Stickers
To use stickers, select the sticker you wish to use and click to drop it anywhere on your assignment!
How to add a Text Comment
To leave Text Comments, you can click anywhere on the page to start typing. Then press the “Enter” key to create a comment or to start a thread. You can also access Voice Typing here!
How to add a Voice Comment
