Quick, Draw! with Google
Some ideas for classroom application include:
- Have students summarize one of their illustrations, describing what they just drew through a voluntary share aloud or a Timed RoundRobin.
- Ask students to screen capture one of their images and write a story about it.
- Have students listen to the words the computer is guessing to see how many they recognize.
- For images that weren’t recognized, have students identify and define the images the machine thought they were drawing.
- During whole-class sharing, allow students to speak about one of their illustrations that couldn’t be guessed and have the entire class share details of how they would have drawn the image.
- Allow the students to explain some of their illustrations that might have special connections in their lives.
- Let students make predictions or inferences about their illustrations.
