Create the Perfect SyllabusIf you are planning on handing out a paper syllabus to your students then you are not fully utilizing the power Google Docs can add to the classroom. The modern student does everything online and it is time their syllabi followed suit.
By adding a table of contents, page numbers and headers to your online syllabi, you can create a dynamic and easy to use standard for both teachers and students. Since it is hosted on Drive, rather than printed on paper, a syllabus can be changed or updated at any time to keep up with a constantly evolving schedule. |
