I love digital planning as a teacher! It saves time (hello copy and paste👏), you can easily change plans, and link to other files and websites easily. I could go on and on, but I have a feeling if you clicked on this post that I am preaching to the choir so let’s get into it!
You might have seen these fancy planners that you can use on your iPad. You know the ones with the cute tabs and digital stickers. Well, while working on an iPad works for some I prefer my first love Google Drive on a desktop. And what if you don’t have an iPad? Do you have to miss out on the fun? No way! Here is exactly how you can bring a fun element like digital tabs to your digital planning on Google Drive
How to Create Tabs for Google Drive
Start With a List
Think of your planner and what you like to include. Start to make a list of all the main categories your dream tabs would include.
- Subject
- Grade Level
- Month
Create the Tabs using Shapes and Text
Once you have your list use the shape tab to create the tabs.
Create Cover Pages
Now that you have your beautiful tabs it’s time to create the landing page or cover page for each category. If you adding tabs to a pre-existing planner you can skip this step 😉
Hyperlink
Now that you have your tabs and landing pages let’s connect the two with hyperlinks.
Happy Planning!
I hope this gave you good idea of how to you can bring fun digital planning elements like tabs to your Google Drive Planner!
