Session Description
For some Google Drawings is just a dumbed down version of Paint not allowing for much. However, the collaborative and constrained nature opens up so many different possibilities. This session will explore some of the different possibilities associated with Google Drawings from making collaborative brainstorms to developing complex flowcharts to creating engaging graphics. It will be jam packed with practical samples and examples. Aaron hopes to spur on new ideas and start the conversation about why you should start using Google Drawings more today.
Often Google Drawings is overlooked as being a simple graphic program, offering not much more functionality than Microsoft Paint. You are able to add images, text, shapes, links and lines, while in regards to images, you can crop, re-colour and adjust the basic image settings. That means no touch-ups, no effects, no textures. However, what makes this more than Paint is the collaborative nature. The ability to easily share opens up many possibilities, whether it be working on a project, creating a brainstorm or just sharing a file to be remixed. In some respect the perceived limitations of Google Drawings are often its strengths.
For example, there are some out there who use Drawings to create eye catching visuals. Bypassing the many applications, instead using Google Drawings to create infographics. Tony Vincent has made a fantastic video documenting how he did this to create an infographic associated with Periscope.
Features of Google Drawings
Google Drawings has many features, this is a list of some of them:
- Resize the canvas, either by manually dragging the edge at the bottom or in Page Setup within File to make something specific.
- Insert a range of objects, including text, images, shapes, word art and tables
- Draw lines
- Format shapes: This includes colour fill, as well as width and style of the border.
- Group, order and arrange objects
- Access different fonts from the Google Fonts Library
- Edit images, including cropping to a shape, adding borders, inserting links and adjusting the colour settings.
- Red and blue guidelines helps you to organise the different objects both in regards to alignment and size.
- Share shapes with other applications using web clipboard in edit
- Publish to the web, not only is this useful in its own accord, but it also provides the means to embed within a website.
For a thorough step-by-step introduction to Google Drawings, I recommend looking at Kasey Bell’s Cheat Sheet.
Tips using Google Drawings
Here are some tips to help working with Google Drawings:
- Holding SHIFT will allow you to make finer adjustments, constrain movement to the nearest axises and maintain relative proportions when resizing.
- Holding down Ctrl allows you to choose multiple objects, when clicking and dragging off an object it allows you to create a duplicate, while when adjusting the node of an object allows you to maintain the dimensions
- Holding ALT temporarily disable ‘Snap to Grid’
- Canvases are transparent, but will turn to white if you download them as a JPEG. If you want to change the background colour, right click on the canvas to get the different options.
- Clear formatting can be useful when copying in text to clear the formatting
- Replace image, not only will this keep the same dimensions as the previous image, but it will crop it to fit
- Use the workspace around the canvas to store elements and instructions offstage.
- For my tips, here is an extensive list of shortcuts
Ideas for using Google Drawings
There are many ways of using Google Drawings. It like to break it down into six categories:
Graphic Organisers
Drawings provides the ability to create and collaboratively complete graphic organisers. This can be anything from a Venn diagram, to seating plan to a sporting line-up. Eric Curts has created a great collection of templates to easily copy into your Drive.

Visualising Thinking
By using shapes, lines and texts Drawings allows you to create brainstorms, concept maps, timelines, flowcharts and infographics with ease. What is good is that you can easily build upon past designs.

Digital Manipulatives
Whether it be working with a fraction wall,, making messages with magnetic poetry, moving the hands of a clock to tell the time, or organising different shapes into categories, Drawings allows you to create resources that allow students to engage with.

Web Clipboard
Using the line tool, create arrows to the different parts and then add text to describe them. This can be particularly useful when creating diagrams or annotating images for tutorials for Docs, Slides and Sheets. Using web clipboard, images can be created using Drawings then transferred to other programs. The benefit is that unlike copying a finished image, you are able to continue to make changes and adjustments. See Andy Hair’s course diagram for an example.

Desktop Publishing
Building on the idea of Web Clipboard, you can use the full suite of applications to create merges for any situation. Sylvia Duckworth provides a tutorial for how to quickly and easily create personalised cards.

Avatars and Images
Through the use of shapes and lines, you are actually able to make a wide range of images. From cartoon characters and vector portraits, to visual quotes, memes and motivational posters. What is great is the ease in which you can just remix an old design.

Forget the glue sticks, markers and magazines to cut for pictures. Create interactive posters with Google Drawings with links and Creative Commons photos. Here’s how! (Google Drawing created by Matt Miller … feel free to click through to check it out!)
Students have created posters in so many classes for so many years. They’re visual, eye-catching and chock full of information.They can be a hassle, though.There’s all of the supplies: markers, glue sticks and the poster board itself (a bigger hassle if kids need to buy it and bring it in).Then there are the magazines. In the past, I’ve had students cut pictures out of magazines to include in posters. Of course, that ends up being a mess. I usually find shards of magazine clippings all over my classroom for weeks afterward.Thankfully, Google Apps has given us an outlet to have all the same perks of creating posters without as much of hassle. Google Drawings is a perfect medium for creating digital posters.Plus, they don’t have to be the static posters of the past. These guys are INTERACTIVE.Google Drawings is an app that gives you a blank slate (or blank poster board!) that you can add elements to. It’s not for linear text (like Google Documents). Plus, it’s not for multiple slides (like Google Slides) … just for one page.Find Google Drawings by clicking “New” in your Google Drive and then clicking on “More” at the bottom of that menu.Now that you have a bright, shiny new Google Drawing in front of you, here are the parts of a poster you can add to it:1. Title/headline: Use a text box at the top. Note that there are TONS of fun and eye-catching fonts you can use in Google. Just click on the font drop-down menu and select “More fonts” at the bottom.2. Images: Don’t run to Google Images and do any old image search! Many of those images are copyright protected, and letting students do that isn’t encouraging them to be good digital citizens. Instead, within Google Drawings, go to “Insert > Image” or click the image button in the toolbar. Then select the “Search” tab at the top. This will search for Creative Commons-licenses images, which students can use and publish. (For more on that, see my post “How to get and use free images the RIGHT way in class“.)3. Shapes: What fun is it to add a square or a circle to a Google Drawing? When you use it to organize content, of course! I like to put rectangles (my favorites are the ones with rounded edges) behind content to group it together visually. There are lots and lots of different useful shapes, including arrows for organization and flow charts AND starbursts to call attention to a word or phrase.4. Links: Here’s what makes these posters interactive! You can’t click old static posters on poster board. (Not sure that you’ve ever tried to, though …) Digital posters on Google Drawings are clickable. This allows students to extend the learning to webpages, videos and other content out on the Internet. It makes the project bigger than the project by itself!Highlight some text or click on an image. Then use the link button in the toolbar or click “Insert > Link …”. (Pro tip: Use Ctrl+K / Command+K to avoid clicking. It’s one of my favorite keyboard shortcuts.) The beauty of adding links like this through Google Apps is that you can search for a site without leaving the page … the search bar is built right in! Brilliant!(Note: For those viewing these digital posters to be able to click on links, they must go to the actual Google Drawing itself. You can’t save it as an image or embed it (as you’ll see next) and click on images.)5. Embed: This lets you add a constantly-updating version of your image to a class website or e-portfolio. Go to “File > Publish to the web …”. Click the “Publish” button and “OK” to accept. Then click the “Embed” tab. You’ll see lots of HTML code there (don’t be scared!). Copy it. Then paste that HTML code in your class website in a spot where it says “Embed” or “HTML”. You’ll get a “live” version of the poster that updates on the site whenever you make changes. (Again, you’ll have to go directly to the Google Drawing file itself for the clickable links.)Are you ready to get started with this in your classroom? It’s a quick win, very easy at virtually any grade level. Plus, it’s visual and fun!Question: How have you used Google Drawings in your classroom? What other features could be added to a Google Drawings interactive poster? You can leave a comment by clicking here.For notifications of new Ditch That Textbook content and helpful links:
