Google Drawings Meme Generator and Creative Google Drawing Activities

Over the years I have become a huge fan of engaging students in visuals. I love to have students create and explore visuals. I believe we learn best when creating is part of the learning process. We need to design activities to get students creating before, during, and after engaging in a learning experience. Today I wanted to share how I engage students in reflecting on our learning using a Meme Generator.

I do my best to engage students in a variety of visual design creation tools, but Google Drawings has become one of my favorites this year. Google Drawings is an incredible resource that sometimes just doesn’t get enough love.  I am writing this post to share some of the activities and resources I’ve used or seen other teachers use connected to Google Drawings. I hope there is something here that everyone can use, regardless of subject or grade level. Up first is a Google Drawings Meme Generator Template. My students and I frequently use memes to reflect on our learning experiences. 

Meme Generator II – Google Drawing Template

You can give each student their own copy using Google Classroom or you can use one of the URL Shortcuts to distribute a copy or template to students if you don’t use Google Classroom.

Eric Curts also has a nice meme generator template and instructions for creating your own in this post.
