Weekend Warriors {Tips and Tricks}

8 comments ,
Welcome back to another edition of Weekend Warriors!  This month, my partners in crime and I are bringing you a variety of tips and tricks as they relate to blogging, TpT, and teaching.  Be sure to read all the posts because you never know what kind of wonderful ideas you'll stumble upon!



Today, I thought I would share a tutorial with you!

Please note: this tutorial will likely be most beneficial for PC users.

When bloggers share freebies with their readers via Google Docs, they have uploaded the document using a setting that allows anyone with the link access to the document. Since the document has been shared with you, there is no need to ask the blogger to share it with you.  Yay!  All you need to do is download it and save it to your computer, and this is really easy to do, I promise!

Sidenote: I tried to make you a nice little video and after lots of compressing and processing, it was of terrible quality.  Boo hoo.  So, since "Plan A" didn't work out, I'm going to "Plan B," screen shots!

So, of course, in order to download a freebie from a blog, you need to click on the link to said freebie (see below).  Well, I'll just let the tutorial do the talking!





 



Sometimes, I will email a document as an attachment.  I do this when I want to save it and print it at school.  I don't have access to Google Docs there, so this is a nice option because I can still access the file and once I open it from my work email, I can then save it to my computer for future use!


Now it's time to test out this tutorial!  I made this homework folder cover for next year's students and I'd love to share it with you.  Simply click {here} to grab a copy!


Here is a picture of how I use this homework cover.  I am very lucky that my school purchases these heavy duty plastic folders with a see through cover, but the homework cover I've shared can also be glued to a standard folder.  Use it however you like!



Don't forget to check out some fun tips and tricks from these super talented teachers!
