Many teachers rely on multiple choice style assessments with a focus on rules. The problem with those types of assessments is they meet only standards that \u201cidentify \u201d. Standards where students must <em>explain<\/em>, <em>diagram<\/em>, <em>justify<\/em>, <em>develop<\/em>, <em>plan<\/em>, and <em>describe <\/em>need alternative assessments. Enter Google Drawings.<\/p>\n<p>Google Drawings allows students to show evidence of their learning with not only their words, but visually as well. Pictures and diagrams are easily implemented. If your district is using Google Apps for Education, pre-made templates can be copied for each student in an assignment allowing for increased teacher flexibility when assessing student understanding.<\/p>\n<p>Another terrific use of Google Drawings is using it as a tool to create infographics. I have used it to create <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/drawings\/d\/10rUgk-bnCtpAGzpeY-4tYMiFbpQKBTwNMOCdp43JXtQ\/edit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">student learning outcomes<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/drawings\/d\/1oCtLQyZa35IoEd_7gf2Zy7DWXibI72yAH-U7Vw3oBt8\/edit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">informational posters<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/drawings\/d\/1gil8HCvZx-QDahD3FBlRaHssvGI389vSrPDz63RYJu8\/edit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">rubrics<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/drawings\/d\/1jXhlDTnmw2ZdztCW_Jyqsd9zCBMgFWu2rv5LW2jrNwE\/edit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">student assessment<\/a>, which is shown below.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2845 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/My-Flag-Football-Knowledge1.jpg\" alt=\"google drawing student learning\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" \/><\/p>\n<p><!--more-->Student work example:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2695\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Flag-Football-Google-Drawings1.png\" alt=\"google drawings for education\" width=\"937\" height=\"702\" \/><\/p>\n<p>How can you get started with Google Drawings? Installing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/chrome\/browser\/desktop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Google Chrome browser<\/a> on your desktop is a great way to start. Creating a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/intl\/en_us\/mail\/help\/about.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gmail<\/a> account is another. To learn how to use Google Drawings, start by watching the two videos below.<\/p>\n<p>The most powerful aspect of all Google apps is the ability to share with others. Amazing infographics, assessments, rubrics, etc., can be shared. Share away! Our physical education community will be stronger for it.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hup0UOJibkw\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/43Beens913U\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Author <\/strong>: Dennis Gildehaus (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DennisinSD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@DennisinSD<\/a>) is a middle school physical education teacher at Pacific Beach Middle School in San Diego, California.
