How do I add Google Docs to my students’ assignment?

Adding an embedded Google Doc in your assignment allows students to go full-screen in their Google Doc, and use Google's built-in tools such as voice-to-text, word count, and more.

❗NOTE: This feature is not recommended for students using iPads.
