A Little Help from My Friend Google

We have been hard at work researching the seven continents using the book Explore Earth's Seven Continents.  After receiving "text-dependent" questions through Google Classroom, we set off to read and answer.   Some of the questions had some unknown words and the class learned a new trick. Instead of asking a teacher, students learned to use the Tools in Google Docs.
First we highlighted the word we wanted to define and clicked on "Tools"...



Then we clicked on "Define"...


And on the side a Research window popped up with the definition!




Maybe Google can correct and grade our documents too...

Ah but it can!
