Fill it in, Draw it out, and Make it Magnificent!

Google Forms:
I learned a new feature: Adding custom images to the titlebar of the Google form.  I do enjoy the templates already available including flickering animations like fireworks or birthday candles, however it is nice to have freedom to completely customize as desired.

Google Drive Add-ons and Apps

PixLR Express:



Save images free for all usage, by copying URL, then pasting, ‘Save a copy’ rename the filename, and saves into drive like any other drive file.


Here are some of my Favorite Add-ons

Quizziz: 
This app is an amazing addition to the Google collection.   I love the ability to use and modify quizzes created by other teachers with the same standards to assess.  As an art teacher, my summative assessments are few, as I am constantly checking knowledge through discussion and formative assessments.  

I love the easy integration of pictures and ability to easily have the files integrated within Google classroom or be shared on a website.  

I am still thinking of exact usage for my needs in elementary, but I could easily see this as a possibility if I had technology for each student. 

Here is a link to the elementary quiz. 

Voice-Typing:
This tool adds options for students with low typing abilities to still get their ideas into a document.  My son struggles to gain speed on his typing skills and proficiency, but has so much to share.  I see this as a great tool for anyone in need of typing assistance, especially those with limited fine motor skills.
