PE3 Google Drawings

Since I have two preschool teachers who will be acting participants in my Action Research I decided to try Google Drawings.  Google Drawings used as a Mind Mapping tool will enhance students' comprehension.  Simple questions with simple answers.  This will be a great visual projection at the computer lab and/or it can be given for a homework assignment to be completed with parent participation.  A great opportunity for parents and young children to bond using a fun activity.  Students can use the Mind Mapping to express their feelings.  This is achieved by viewing virtual  animals that live on the farm versus virtual animals that live in the zoo.

Soon our students will visit a pumpkin farm and there they will also encounter a petting zoo as one of the day's adventures.  Using Google Drawings as a Mind Map strategy before going to the farm could really send their little minds with gigantic imaginations on an exploration.  Look at the sample below.
