Student Assignment

Using the Google Drawing app, your group will create a thinking map on one of the scientist, a science diagram of the

concept, and a study card that is a mnemonic device. Your group will use all of the information to create a short

book on your topic using iBooks Author and share to iTunesU.

Ways to Use Google Drawing

Starting with substitution:Create worksheets quickly.

Move up to augmentationby

having the students use Google Drawing to complete & submit

online. No copying of worksheets. Assigned,

completed, & returned online.

Thinking Map

Tech acts as a direct

tool substitute with

Modification/Redefinition

Students connect with students from another country to discuss genetic

engineering. Students write factually about how it is used in their area and

share opinions about it. They can compare how it is used and perceived in

different parts of the world.

Create Worksheets 1. When you click on

Tools, then Research,

it will pull up a Google

Search on the side.

2. Type in search terms, here

I typed in “ blank animal cell

worksheet.” When you find

your image, just drag it to the

canvas.

3. Select the T box to

type in directions or

Creating a campaign that addresses current issues and problems in

our society working with other students around the state or world.

Examples:

During an election, create a campaign called #TBT

#timesarenotchaninging comparing an older political cartoon to one

that they have created for present day elections.

But first….Let me take a

SELFIE!

Pros & Cons

Pros ConsHigh student self motivation on using the drawing

app.

Students wanted to spend too much time on the

drawing part.

Reinforced basic ELA concepts like using text

based evidence, credible sources, & writing in

science.

At first, they only wanted to present random facts.

They had a hard time summarizing & limiting

information that supported central point.

Witnessed them work through frustration on layout

by working with their groups cooperatively to come

up with solutions.

The layout and graphic design part was difficult for

them.
