Watch YouTube Videos In a Google Document? YES!

Play YouTube Videos in a Google Doc With the DocuTube Add-on


Most Google Doc users who want to include a YouTube video in their doc, will simply hyperlink the video or just paste the link in their Google Doc. If a person wants to watch the YouTube video they will click on the link and a new tab will open to the video.

 But wait. . . there is a more seamless option!

With the DocuTube add-on, viewers can see the YouTube videos directly in the Google Doc!

Simply open a Google Doc and click on add-ons and then get add-ons. Next search for Docutube. 


Once you and your students have the DocuTube add-on, theYouTube videos that are hyperlinked or linked in your Google Doc will be viewable.

I first heard about this from Lance Yoder in this video:
Anyone creating Hyperdocs will find this add-on particularly useful and a game changer. 

Remember:  The DocuTube add-on will need to be added in Google Docs before viewing the YouTube videos in your Google Doc. 

I highly recommend giving DocuTube a try.

There aren't many sites that allow the user to actually write words into any shape.  There is the Read, Write, Think interactive for Theme Poetry.  Here is what it looks like. The words can be added inside of a shape. The interactive guides students through the writing process There is a site from WildAboutWoods.org  where a person can choose a shape or draw one of their own and add words inside of the shape. There are word banks to choose from or a person can type in their own words to add to the shape. I like that adding words is as simple as click ...

My Blog Makeover - How I Did It

I love change and and rarely do the same thing over and over.  So a blog makeover was  inevitable .  It takes quite a bit to make a blog look completely different, but I have found ways to make it easier on myself. Here are the resources I used to complete my blog makeover.   I found the background at the Dotty Dot Dot blog.  I chose Summer Sunset and simply had to copy the code and insert it.  I found directions on how to do this here .  I could have use the header (the title at the top of a blog) from this site as well, but I decided it was too plain, so I searched for a different header. Shabby Blogs provided me with a header that fit my background perfectly.  I found directions to change my header here . I wanted to add my blog title to the header, so I used a photo editing site called Fotoflexer .  This was the first time I had used this site and I loved it!  I have since used Fotoflexer for some other projec...
