Add-Ons and Templates

Hi I’m Alice Keeler, a Google Developer Expert. I like to code! I code using Google Apps Script to make Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, etc… even better! NONE of my Add-ons collect any user data. You are always only authorizing YOURSELF access to your own documents and Google Drive. Most of my Add-ons are free. Unfortunately, I am unable to customize or provide tech support on the free Add-ons. For support, premium features, and tech support please consider becoming a Premium Member.

TemplateTab

This is one of my favorite things I have ever coded! It copies a graphic organizer for each student on your roster within the same spreadsheet. YES! This Add-on has been verified by Google! Install and use the Add-on menu for any spreadsheet. The roster needs to be on the first tab and the graphic organizer on the second tab.

toTabs

Filter your spreadsheet data easily into individual tabs. Data probably from a Google Form, choose the column in the sidebar to sort the data into tabs. This Add-on IS verified by Google.

NOT Verified by Google

NONE of my Add-ons collect user data. You only authorize YOURSELF to have access to your own Google Drive and Google files. You will need to authorize the Add-on. You will get a warning that the Add-on has not been verified by Google. I have NOT submitted them to Google. You will get the unverified warning each time. You may get a button that says “Return to safety.” Do not click on this. Instead, click on “Advanced” and then it warns you that it is unsafe to authorize Add-ons from people you do not know. I, Alice Keeler, personally coded these. They are safe.

Reuse GC for Google Classroom

I manage my Google Classrooms using Reuse GC. This is a Google Sheets spreadsheet that allows me to reuse multiple assignments at once. It also allows me to create new assignments. Assignments created from the spreadsheet can be auto scored. This has premium features.

Discussion Tab

Want to facilitate a discussion with your student virtually or in person? Start by giving student an opportunity to respond digitally. This gives students sufficient wait time (5 seconds is too short to let EVERYONE think) and an opportunity to let everyone’s ideas guide the conversation rather than just the first students to raise their hand. Plan out the questions in advance on the first sheet. Run Discussion Tab from the Add-on menu to create a tab for each question in the spreadsheet. The question on the sheet is LOCKED DOWN! Invite students to choose a “square” and type their response in the cell.

Multiple Forms

Make life easier by having your Forms all go to the same spreadsheet.
