Insert Images in Google Sheets

You can now insert images directly into cells in Google Sheets. You could add images to Sheets before, but those images were an overlay that sat on top of the Sheet.  With this new feature, you can insert the image directly into a cell, and it will move with the rest of the row when sorting. 

Classroom Integration Examples: 

• Students use a collaborative spreadsheet to collect data on different types of rocks and include images of the rocks that will sort with the other facts gathered. 
• Teachers add pictures of their students in their class roster spreadsheet. When a new student is added, you can still quickly resort the list alphabetically.

Note: If you don't see it yet, you will see it soon. They released it March 19th with complete rollout done within 15 days.

Introducing Google's New Jamboard

Introducing Google's New Jamboard

Google has a new tool in it's suite of products called Jamboard. It's a digital whiteboard where you and your students can collaboratively add notes, images and drawings. Like other Google programs, you can share your creations, and they are saved in your Google Drive. 

You can access the basic version by opening the program from your Google Apps or Drive (see screenshots below). If you install the Jamboard App, you will have access to even more features like converting handwriting to text, auto draw tool, voice to text, and inserting resources from Drive (see iTunes for iPads or Google Play for touchscreen Chromebooks). 

To learn more about Jamboard, see video tutorial.
