Thing 24 Google Drawings

I. LOVE. GOOGLE. DRAWINGS.  This is such a wonderful tool and I CANNOT WAIT to use it more in the classroom!  My students are very handy when it comes to Google Slides, so I feel like the transition to using Google Drawings will be easy for them.  I created an interactive image about deserts using an image from our book.  My students will be creating a deserts project where they need to research and tell about a specific desert.  This interactive image links websites for each desert to help students find information and pictures of the desert they choose.

I am excited to continue playing around with Google Drawings in the future.  This Fall, I read Kacey Bell’s book, Shake Up Learning and she talks about Google Drawings on many of her blog posts.  I love the materials she creates because they are easy to adapt to fit the needs of my students.  I love her template of the fridge magnets.  My students are not learning poetry but I could put their vocabulary words from the unit as magnets and they can create sentences.

My students love making Google Slides presentations so I think they will also love using Google Drawings.  They enjoy changing colors and adding their own pictures so I think this will be a fun and creative tool to add to their technology tool box.
