Happy Monday! I am taking a course through MassCUE using
Google tools for Differentiating instruction. One of the tools I shared with
you last week was Google Keep. This week I wanted to showcase an activity I did
with the agents in Google Draw. It is a different way of using Google Draw,
which I never thought of! Students could use it as part of their May DQs to
involve audience participation instead of a quiz in their presentation. It is
called Google Digital Drag!
It is a fill in the blank activity where students can create
a paragraph in Google Draw in a text box. I showed them how to put in a
background image and play around with the transparency of the image. Then I
made a text book and wrote blogging rules in it, but left blank lines in my
rules for students to fill in the missing words. Lastly, I created smaller text
boxes for each of the missing words. We then worked as a class to fill in the
blanks! The agents made three errors, which I did not tell them
until we filled it all out. I informed them there were three mistakes and could
they figure out which ones needed to be moved. They were able to do it. It was
a great review for digital citizenship too!
Check out the Digital Drag I made here:
If you would like to use it as a template or try it out
please go to file>make a copy so you have your own copy!

is a great resource to shorten web links to share!)
Any teachers out there I would love to hear how you would use this!
