Try Something New




With testing season almost in full swing and certainly already started, it is often hard to "try something new."  In the spirit of helping one another out...I am including some ideas to try something NEW using Google Draw. Don't worry, this isn't a new extension, a new something to find, or even download. You already have Google Draw in your G-Suite ready to use. Want to learn a little more? Check out the How-To video on Google Draw Digital Poster Templates:



Google Drawings
Basically, a blank slate for any type of creative platform both interactive or static between you and your students. From a graphic organizer, word art (like you see above) to interactive student work like you see in the images below. The interactive pieces below could be customized more simplistically or even more advanced...or could be created BY OUR STUDENTS!


Go ahead...It's okay...Click the titles of each image to activate the live links to the interactives...try them out...you know you want to!

Angles of a Triangle Interactive



The overarching goal with all of the created and linked Google Drawings was student-centered and collaborative interaction. Students would be able to create with teams or partners using limited devices or in a computer lab setting and share back with their teacher once complete. These could easily be assigned through Google Classroom, as well.
