📣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:

Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or whatever you celebrate in August!!!

It's the most wonderful time of the year!
With the kids Chrome OSing,
And Google updating you be of good cheer.
It's the most wonderful time of the year!
It's the hap-happiest season of all,
With those new Classroom codes and quiz score importing
When students log into Chrome,
It's the hap-happiest season of all.
There'll be Google Classrooms for hosting,
Google Forms for testing,
And reordering your classes galore.
There'll be Classroom ownership transfer,
And tales of the glories of the
missed assignments, long, long ago.
It's the most wonderful time of the year!
There'll be much app integrations,
And hearts will be glowing
When decimal point grading is near.

It's the most wonderful time of the year!
