Favorite Feature Friday: Google Doc Checklists

 You know it is the “back to school” season when my Favorite Feature Friday blog is posted on a Saturday 🤣. Oh well! This week I am highlighting a really cool… but oh so easy…trick in Google Docs. If you create assignments in Google Docs that you share with your students, then check this out! Often I will have a list of things for students to accomplish in the instructions OR a list of assignment requirements in a rubric for them to go through. This feature makes it super easy for students to check things off of a list, and then I can see it when they turn it in or submit it to me in Google Classroom. Check out these instructions!
