The drawing tools were cool. There were many different options you could use to add text. You could make a text bubble and write anywhere, or pick any shape you wanted to and write information in it. Also, when inserting an image on the page the Google search searches everything in the database so you have a wide variety of pictures to add to your doc!
The ISTE|NETS standard I choose reflected this work the most was standard 1, to Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity. Teachers use their knowledge of subject matter, teaching and learning, and technology to facilitate experiences that advance student learning, creativity, and innovation in both face-to-face and virtual environments. Teachers:
a. promote, support, and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness.
b. engage students in exploring real-world issues and solving authentic problems using digital tools and resources.
c. promote student reflection using collaborative tools to reveal and clarify students' conceptual understanding and thinking, planning, and creative processes.
d. model collaborative knowledge construction by engaging in learning with students, colleagues, and others in face-to-face and virtual environments.
The drawing app allows students to use their creativity to explore new ways of learning. The drawing app has many different features on it that would help a child model their knowledge in a subject area. For example, a teacher wanted the class to make a "web" outlining chapter one. With the drawing app they can take what they learned from the chapter and be creative with it and model what they learned through the way they see fit.
