We are so excited to have Eric Curts as our special guest presenter in this week's show. He plans to share some "Awesome Uses for Google Drawings in your Classroom." Google Drawings is part of the Drive suite of tools but is often overlooked. However it is a fantastic program for student learning and teacher instruction. In this session we will cover the basics of how Drawings works, and then we will look at dozens of practical examples of how it can be used in schools, including graphic organizers, math manipulatives, brochures, and more.
