TwosDay - Bob - Google Canvas


Sometimes we need students to make drawings, flow charts, or other images to illustrate concepts. Two of the tools that Google currently offers to accomplish this task are Google Drawings and the Google Canvas Chrome App. In this video, we’ll take a look at the basic tools of Google Canvas.

TwosDay - Sean - Easy Drawing With AutoDraw


Illustrating is such a great way to demonstrate a concept. Sometimes I want to draw and show something, & sometimes I want my kiddos to draw a concept to show how they are picturing it. However, I draw pictures as well as United Airlines draws passenger names “randomly.” Luckily, our friends at Google have tapped into some awesome artists to make a super simple, magical drawing tool that can make anyone look like DaVinci. Just go to autodraw.com and start drawing. Your task options are in the bottom right corner, color options are located in the bottom left, and the smart images from which you can choose are located in a row along the top. Once you’re done with your masterpiece, just click the 3 hot dogs in the upper right to get action options where you can download it or share it through a variety of ways, including the simple “copy / paste” move. Enjoy!
