Google Drawing:

One of my favorite Google App.


When people think of G Suite and the Google Apps, they think of the big three: Google Sheets, Slides and Docs. Today though, I want to talk about one of my favorite apps that often is overlooked.....Google Drawings!

Google Drawings reminds me a little bit of using Apple Pages and/or Publisher. It’s a place where students can be creative in designing posters and so much more.

Recently, I stumbled upon a blog post by Matt Bergman, technology leader extraordinaire, who provides a cheat sheet over Google Drawings as well as ideas on how to incorporate Google Drawings into your own curriculum. Here are a few of his ideas:

  • Create and share graphic organizers
  • Create interactive worksheets
  • Infographics
  • Provide screenshots of computer instructions
  • Explain complex concepts with images and captions
  • Create, collaborate and share visuals and diagrams
  • Create, collaborate and share timelines and many more.

All of these activities could be created by the teacher OR you could have the students create to show their understanding of the unit or subject.
