Tech Tip of the Week!!
Some classroom ideas for using AWW are:
- a scene from a story
- the parts of a heart, volcano, flower, insect (you can add labels!)
- a math problem
- a self-portrait
Teachers can also collect the students drawings using a digital dropbox created from Google Form. To do this teachers will:
- Log in to your google account and go to your google drive.
- Create a form with the following (or similar) fields): Class (optional), First Name, Last Name, Project Name, Notes/Description, URL.
- Click the blue link at the bottom of the page to view the published form.
- Shorten the URL of the published form (use http://tinyurl.com or another shortener) and share it with the students, or embed the form into a blog, wiki, or your webpage.
NOTE: Once the dropbox form is created, it can be used over and over again.
