Instructify

Many people are happily using Google Docs as a free alternative to costlier productivity suites, but did you know that there are templates for Google Docs, too? While not huge, the Google Docs Templates directory has some valuable tools to help you get the most out of Docs with very little effort.

Students can grab templates for writing reports and research papers, as well as for creating bibliographies or study schedules. For teachers, you can keep your grade book and attendance using a spreadsheet template, or use the lesson plan or one of many calendar formats to organize your time and teaching. There are budget tools, calculators, letterheads, and even a nifty math quiz generator found in the templates directory.

In what might be a sign of the times, the most popular templates being used right now are for creating resumes. To view them all, check out the directory by going to the link below, or, when creating a new document in Google Docs, choosing “From template…” will get you there too. -GRETCHEN SCHAEFER
