Google for Teachers
Joyce Valenza, in her blog NeverEnding Search, shared links to a free document called Google for Teachers. It doesn't focus on common uses of GoogleDocs, but instead looks at some of the less well-known tools and different ways to use the common ones.
One thing noted in this document is that there is an editor for match teachers:
"Equations & Subscripts Google Docs contains an equation editor for mathematics teachers and students. Google Docs also offers a subscript and superscript tool that can be used in writing chemical compounds and mathematics equations. The equation editor, subscript, and superscript tools make it possible for math and science teachers and their students to use Google Docs for more of their document creations. With these three tools online collaborative document creation isn't limited to the humanities. Science and mathematics students can also collaborate to solve equations."
Thank you for bringing my attention to the equation tab. I remember seeing it under insert but it did not apply to what I was working on at the time. It will help me in creating activities for my class in Google Docs.
