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.
