Setting a Default Font and Size in Google Docs

To set your preferred font and size default for all of your new Google Docs:

1. Open or create a Google Doc

2. Select some text - even just one word - in your choice of font and size of your preference

3. Click the "Format" menu > Paragraph styles > Normal text > Update 'Normal text' to match:

4. With the text still selected, click the "Format" menu again > Paragraph styles > Save as my default styles:

Once the default font has been set, all new documents or presentations that you create will use this font until you change the default option again.

Instant Rewards of Teaching in Moodle

From "Teaching with Moodle for total beginners"

• saving time and money on photocopying course materials
• less paperwork (or paper marking) to carry with you
• less correcting (marking) overall
• richer and more interactive homework and/or assignments
• formal evaluation of discussion skills and contributions (some students excel here whilst performing poorly elsewhere)
• a wider range of deep-learning activities to stretch more able students
• having all your detailed feedback about the targets you have set stored in the Gradebook automatically, not lost on the one paper copy of the essay, which you handed back to the student.
