Spell Check within Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, etc.

YES, It's Really There...

Despite what students may say, Google Docs and other file types DO include a spell check feature. You typically need to click on the TOOLS tab near the top of the window and select SPELLING. This creates a box (typically on the right side of the window) that looks reminiscent of the spell check feature in Microsoft Word.

Here's a Screencast of using the spell check feature:

Options

Within the spell check, similar options to Microsoft Word's spell check appear. These are:
CHANGE--change the misspelled word(s) to one of the listed suggestions (or type in the
                    correct spelling in the box).
CHANGE ALL--to access this, click on the arrow beside the word change, and you will
                 see how many times this error exists. To change all of them simultaneously,
                 click on the word(s) with the number.
IGNORE--don't change the spelling to any of the program's suggestions.
IGNORE ALL--to access this, click on the arrow beside the word ignore, and you will see
                how many times this word appears. To ignore all of them simultaneously, click
                on the word(s) with the number.
ADD TO DICTIONARY--this allows you to add the word to your personal dictionary so
                that the word does not always appear as "wrong." This is especially helpful with
                student names and places like East Pennsboro that you use frequently but
                would not typically find in the dictionary.

***The only Google apps I frequently use that don't have a spell check under TOOLS
      are Google Forms, Blogger, Sites, and Classroom. If I need to spell check something
      within these programs, I just use the Grammarly extension, which I have added to my
      Chromebook. You can easily find Grammarly in the Web Store ***
