30 in 30: Day 28 - Voice Typing... for Student Feedback

Day 28 in the 30 in 30 series is going to address an underutilized feature that Google released nearly a year ago.....the ability to type with your voice.  That's right, just say what you want to and leave the typing to Google.  This cool little utility that is already built into Google Docs just hasn't gotten the attention that it has deserved.  You can find it in the Tools menu by choosing Voice Typing...  You will get a pop up utility (see image below) that you click on and start to talk.  Oh, and it does so much more than that.  You can also use your voice to edit and format your document. For example, "Select paragraph," "italics," or "Go to the end of the line."  Looking to see the voice command in action?  Click here to watch the video.  For the Google Support page that documents all of what the utility does, click here.
