I’m exploring new methods to arrange the lessons I teach. Recently, I watched an impressive video showcasing how Google Docs can be utilized to compile lesson plans in spreadsheets with links to various resources such as materials and videos, which is exactly what I need.
After logging into my Google Drive for the first time in several years, I attempted to grasp how files are organized. I uploaded a random .docx document I had about nuclear physics, but upon opening it in Google Docs, it became practically unusable. I received a message indicating that certain features from Word were lacking. Images and graphics were misplaced, and the equations didn’t translate correctly (for example, it displayed “4 2 He” instead of the correct Helium formula).
I can see some benefits for users who only work with Google Docs to create content, but its incompatibility with MS Word renders it impractical for my needs. Is there a solution for this issue? Am I alone in facing this challenge? I appreciate the hyperlink feature, but I can’t abandon my reliance on MS Word.
