Definition:
A template would be the equivalent to any document you would create, photocopy and distribute to
students. It could be a worksheet, graphic organizer, questionnaire, etc. By making it a template the
“blank” or “clean” copy always exists in google space.

2. Find the document on your file list:
3. Click on the box next to the document
4. In the menu that appears after clicking the box (above the file list) choose more:
5. From the more menu choose submit to template gallery
6. A new page will open. Complete the description as detailed as possible. Choose one of the choices from the pull down
category menu (none of them really fit, but one must be chosen).
Using the templates
1. Tell students to create a new google doc by clicking on the create box from their google docs.
2. In the pull down menu choose from template.
3. They will be taken to the Houlton Jr/Sr high template gallery.
4. They should choose the template you want (this is where descriptions become important)
5. Now they can edit their own copy of your worksheet.
