Using Google Drawing

During writing time today, Mr. Sosa had his third grade students access their Google Drives to brainstorm and rough draft their writing. Students used Google Drawing to make an idea web for the writing topic: "activities I like to do outside". After the web they made a Google Document to start their rough drafts. They created these documents in a shared folder so that students can edit and revise collaboratively inside and outside of school with their peers and teacher. Mr. Sosa loves that he will be able to access their writing at any time to leave comments on their writing without the hassle of lugging 20 writing journals around.
