Google Drawings
In this edition I would like to introduce you to a lesser used but powerful Google Application available on all Google Drive accounts. It's Google Drawings!
The methods we use to access and search information in recent years have changed dramatically. How many of us turn to YouTube when we want to learn how to do something new? Google Earth and Google Maps take us places we might never be able to visit in person. Virtual Tours take us on expeditions to the world's greatest wonders. Simulations and interactive activities allow us to experiment and test hypotheses virtually.
If the way we learn and retrieve new information has changed so dramatically, why are we still asking students to report their learning through outdated methods? Why not ask our students to report information interactively?
The example below includes links to videos, websites, an annotated image, a written report, an interactive quiz along with video summary notes. These can be adapted to all grade levels and used with Google Classroom.
