Google Draw Tool

This is my drawing that I created using Google Draw which is a tool under Google Docs. I had not previously utilized any online drawing tools that I recall. However, I have utilized the Paint application on windows and drawing tools associated with Microsoft Office. I thought that this tool was very easy to use and would be easy for students to use of any age. Of course you would want to model and provide guidance but this is definitely something that would be fun and easy for students to use.

This activity could be used with elementary students as an activity at the end of the story. you could ask them to draw a picture of their favorite part. An activity like this would pertain to technology standard 1- Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity (bullet c-promote student reflection using collaborative tools to reveal and clarify students' conceptual understanding and thinking, planning, and creative processes). The activity we completed might fall under technology standard 2- Design and Develop Digital Age Learning Experiences and Assessment (bullet a-design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity). Older students in a classroom might also work with peers using this tool to create a mini story. They might use lines to divide the page into four squares and create a mini story. This type of activity would fall under technology standard 3- Model Digital Age Work and Learning (bullet b- collaborate with students, peers, parents, and community members using digital tools and resources to support student success and innovation).
