Google Docs Document Tabs
Organize your lengthy Google Doc with Document Tabs!
Created by Scott Aten, November 1, 2024
Recently Google added a new feature to Google Docs called Document Tabs. You may have noticed when you open a new Google Doc there is an icon in the left margin.
If you give this little icon a click you will see you now have th option to create "document tabs" within the doucment itself. Think of it like a notebook with many different pages. The process will look something like this...
As you can see it is very easy to do and it essentially give you a new blank doc every time you create a new document tab. There are a lot of practical uses in the classroom. Here are a few ideas:
- Organize notes for a class.
- Create a class notebook where each student adds their content on a specific tab.
- Breaking down large document into more managable pieces.
- Presentation of data in its own area
You can also add some visual organization to the tabs by adding an emoji in front of the title.
The emoji can be added by clicking the three dots to the right of the tab title. Here is a link to a Google Doc that I made that has Document Tabs added. Feel free to add your ideas on how Document Tabs could be used in the classroom on the "Ideas" tab in this document for everyone to see.
