Using the Highlight Tool Add-
On in Google Docs
There are many wonderful add-ons available to be used within the Google Suite. One that is making a lot of news lately is called the Highlight Tool.
What this tool does is provide a way to highlight different text within a Google Doc using a variety of colors. But what makes it such an asset comes afterwards.... you can export the highlighted text into a separate document by either sequence or color.
This may sound familiar as there are other add-ons that do the same but the difference here is the Highlight Tool is FREE!
To see how it works, watch this short 6 min. youtube video from Josh Harris: https://youtu.be/tGRRCvbY3kw
There are many ways this add-on can be incorporated into Language Arts, Social Studies/History, or anywhere else that requires research and using information. But that is not all, Eric Curtis shows how youcan use this add-on for Math problems.
Be sure to check out his blog post to see how using the highlight tool add-on can help students solve story problems in math:
