Every day I am becoming more and more aware of how internet-ignorant I am. Here is yet another gem of a tool from google that I had never discovered-- drawings! Honestly, I don't see much of a difference between this and paint...but again, you have all the advantages of it being online and apart of a google account. I can see several personal uses that a teacher might have with drawings such as diagrams, mapping, picturing editing, etc...but I think it can also be usable in classroom lessons.
In the lesson plan given, for example, students used sketches and digital art as a spring board for story writing and literacy improvement. I think that digital art can be used as an effective way to engage different learning styles. Students who are more visual learners are more likely to learn through creative means and outputs. Google drawings can also be used by students to map out ideas and outline notes.
In conclusion...here is yet another tool that google has provided that can be used in the classroom!
Very good. :-)
