I have never used the Drawing Google App before. That being said, I found it to be highly useful and straightforward. there were several tools that could be used to create high quality images that can be used in a various ways, such as in presentations, flyers, or other formal documents. there were a variety of shapes and ways of free-form drawing that allowed the user to manipulate the image into exactly what they wanted to display. It had several customization options to allow the image created to be vibrant and appealing.
I also looked into the Elementary lesson plan that was provided for us, with the tools in Google drawing it would be very simple to create and label these shapes for the instruction time, but it also presents an opportunity for students to create their own shapes and identify them. With the ability that the students would have to manipulate these different shapes and objects they could come closer to a mastery of this subject material and be able to readily identify new shapes an objects.
In the chapter relating to Google Drawing a point is brought up that shows how Microsoft Office has no software to compete with the Google Drawing software. the chapter talks about how the main focus of this app like the others is collaboration. through the unique platform that google provides for students to connect, Drawing enables students to create visual representations of information and ideas, and readily export them to almost any other format.
Collaboration is not the only answer for all Common Core questions. The text speaks of things like a graphic organizer, geometry, etc. I expect you to mention these, also.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the description of the service is pretty anemic. I challenge you to do a little better... (or even a LOT better), because I know you can. :-)
