Google Drawings
Tech Tool Talk
Google Drawings is a free, web-based diagramming software developed by Google. It allows teachers and students to collaborate and work together in real time to create flowcharts, organizational charts, website wire frames, mind maps, concept maps, and other types of diagrams. Right now, Google Drawings is only accessible through a computer, and is not available through an Android or Apple app.

How can this be used in the classroom?
- Can be used to label parts of an object, or even used to create a timeline.
- Students can use this as a "digital poster board" that they can present to the class.
- Can be used to create and share interactive worksheets.
- If discussing a topic in class, the students can go to Google Drawings and create their own meme, comic strip, or even collage to describe or show what they learned.
- Students can create a mosaic by using shapes and fill, or create a book poster using images and word art.
