How to Create a Newspaper using Google Docs with Google Apps for Education - G-Suite for Education

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS AN OLDER VIDEO AND THERE ARE SOME DIFFERENCES IN GOOGLE DOCS, SUCH AS THE RESEARCH TOOL IS NOW THE EXPLORE TOOL.

This video was created for a Year 5 class that were working on writing newspaper reports. We wanted to look at how to create a Newspaper using Google Docs. The other purpose was to continue developing the skills of the Year 5 students in Word Processing.

This included creating and formatting the properties of tables and using the new Merge cells feature within Google Docs; understanding the styles feature; using the research tool to find images; and introduce them to the idea of citations using the Research tool.

The lesson was introduced with a challenge. I presented them with a finished Newspaper using Google Docs. Their challenge was to work out how I'd done it. Those that did then had to support others. The video was then used as a home learning task, therefore flipping the idea so when they came back to class they could start their newspaper.

All learners progressed extensively during this task. Not only in the Desk Top Publishing skills but in the the writing of the reports. They used the editing tools of the Word Processor in Google docs to continually re-draft and better the work.
