Google Drawings is a drawing program accessible right within Google Drive. The process of illustrating ideas activates creative, comparative, and analytic cognitive functions. Using technology for illustrations is engaging and can enhance your differentiation efforts. Drawings might be a hook to the content for some students.
Since the files live in Google Drive, students can access them anywhere. They can be included in Google Classroom assignments and inserted into Google Slides or Docs projects. They can even be used in Explain Everything or iMovie!
Drawings can be used in any content area. Here are some ideas:
- illustrations
- diagrams
- flow charts
- pictographs
- digital posters (think Glogster without the hassle)
Here are examples from a 3rd grade Google Drawings exploratory activity that happened between Halloween and Thanksgiving.
