I just learned a trick of how to use Google to search newspapers!
Go to news.google.com/newspapers
And you can search all newspapers, or you can select a specific newspaper.
I'm attaching a screenshot.
Use this video to learn how to use Google to search for Google Slide shows already created

Hard copy grades sheets
If you like to keep a hard copy of grades, you can print a blank sheet to record on? In Gradebook, just go to Reports, select Class Roster. There is a box for columns. I put 15. And then print. You'll have to print each class, but once you do one, it will keep the column setting during this session.
E-mail Groups
You can set up groups of e-mails. I have a group for each of my classes so I can send them information. This is especially nice of I'm out for the day. I e-mail the students their assignment. In Google, click on the grid of squares by your name in the upper right corner. Select the RED "New Contact" button. At the top is an icon with a group of people. This allows you to start a group. Once you've named the group, start adding contacts. If you want to do this and have trouble, e-mail me and I'll send you a more detailed instructions.
