 * Description: ** At first glance, it can be easy to write off the Google Drawing app. It does seem rather simplistic and not very useful. However, it is actually a powerful image creator and editor. Add in the fact that you can collaborate on a drawing, and it's too awesome to be ignored. This session will focus on many different ways to use Google Drawings in the classroom. From creating a timeline, to an infographic or even using it to show work on a math problem, Google Drawings is a versatile and engaging tool for any classroom.
