If you are using Google docs and would like the option to have multiple assignments in one Google doc you can. You can create bookmarks. By clicking on the link, it will take you directly to that part of the document.
How to create the bookmark:
1. Insert your cursor where you would like to create the book mark or highlight the text where the bookmark will start.
2. On the menu bar of the document go to “Insert” and go down to “Bookmark”
3. A new window will pop up in the doc. It will ask you about naming the book mark link. After you have named the bookmark (or used the name of what you have highlighted), you simply click insert.
4. To add this to the beginning of the document, you will create a link.
5. On the menu bar click on link. Make sure you click for the circle “bookmark”.
6. You will have a drop down menu of the bookmarks you have created with their names. (Point out to students their bookmarks if they use this should have different names).
7. Then in the “Text Display” box type what you want to appear for the document.
If you are using Google docs as a way for students to turn in assignments, using the “bookmark” tool could be a good tool to use for assignments that are reoccurring. Instead of getting 25 new documents shared with you every week, 25 documents will be updated that are already in your Google docs each week. For example if you ask students to turn in an article every week with a reflection, they can keep adding to the same Google doc and add the bookmark where this week’s article starts. You also could use this for journaling and reflections on a literature reading. When we do go to 1-to1 you also could encourage students when taking notes to book mark notes by date, or by subject at the top. It then is easy to add to the notes, or to find something you may be looking for.
