Custom Building Blocks in Docs + Smart Chips = 😍

Custom Building Blocks in Docs + Smart Chips = 😍

 


Use Smart Chips and tables inside docs to create custom workflows, resources and materials for yourself and students. Select your creation, create a custom building block and reuse whenever you need! 

1. Create the layout and add the elements you want. I like a table for this. 



2. Add Smart Chips to make it amazing 😍... Don't know what Smart Chips are? Check out my post here. 


3. Select what you want to make a block



I have made a Google doc with a few great templates that you can create custom blocks from. Simply make a copy of my doc highlight my tables (1 at a time) and create a custom block for yourself! I would love to see the ways you are going to use this amazing tool.

📣Dropdown Chips in Google Docs... Endless Possibilities!
You can now create and insert custom dropdown chips in Google Docs! 


You can insert dropdown menus inline with text by typing @drop and selecting dropdown or going to Insert - Dropdown. You can also insert them as a pre made building blocks that you can edit using the Insert - Building Blocks menu. 

Inside the same document you can reuse your dropdowns by typing or inserting a dropdown and selecting a previously created dropdown but they do not show up across documents. To reuse dropdowns from one document to the other you can copy and paste your dropdown into your doc and edit as needed. 

Here are some great applications: Writing status, Close reading, Cloze Reading, Self Regulatory Checklists, Student Reflections, Rubrics, Peer Review... So Much More! 

Here is a quick look at making a dropdown chip:
