Add Closed Captioning to YouTube Videos

With all the new laws on the books there are some considerations you need to keep in mind if you create or share YouTube videos. If you post links to YouTube clips on your website, share videos with parents, or make a YouTube link public in any way through your website you are required to have Closed Captioning enabled. You will need to do this to any video you share with the public that you make. The link below will help you enable Closed Captioning on any YouTube videos you have made so you are in compliance with this law.

Add Closed Captioning to YouTube Videos

1. Go to YouTube.com.
2. Click on your Profile picture in the top right and click “Creator Studio”.

3. Click on “Video Manager” and then “Videos”.

4. Click the drop arrow next to “Edit” on one of your videos. Click on “Subtitles & CC”.

5. It will ask for language. Choose which you want.
6. Click on “Add New Subtitles or CC”.

7. The left side will now have the auto transcribed text. You can edit in here if needed then exit.

You are all set!

Create Columns in Google Documents

I have been a long time user of Google. It has been over 5 years since I have used MS Office for anything. I love everything about Drive and all the tools. Documents has replaced Word for me with only a few issues. One of them was columns. For years I have done a work around involving making a table, inserting text into cells, then making the table lines white to disappear. Those days are now GONE! Google Documents now allows the use of columns! Check out the simple steps below and start typing in one, two, or three column documents today!

Create Columns in Google Documents

1. Create a document and click “Format” and scroll down to “Columns”.

2. Choose one, two, or three columns.
3. Tada! Start typing and you are Done!

4. You can even choose to have a line drawn between the columns to separate them more by clicking “More Options”.

5. Then choose “Line between columns” and click “Apply”.

Reorder Icons in Google Waffle

I love Chrome bookmarks. I might even have an addiction to keeping them, but sometimes there is no need to create my own saved places if they already exist. Google helps by creating built-in bookmarks tucked away in the “waffle” (that little 9 grid thing in your browser). In the past these were already assigned spots that were not in any way customizable. Google now allows you to customize the waffle and put your icons in whatever order works best for you. You can add, delete, and reorder to your heart's content. Follow the steps below to start organizing your waffle to work for you!

Reorder Icons in the Google Waffle

1. Log into your Google account.
2. Go to www.google.com or any core Google page (Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Hangouts, Photos, Google+). Side note, if you are ever looking for the Google Classroom icon you will only find it in these core apps.
3. Click on the waffle in the top right corner.
4. Grab an icon and drag it to where you want it to live.
5. Done!

Give it a try and re-organize your waffle!
