Free Digital Tools to Incorporate Digital Drawing

Our new normal of blended and digital learning has created some challenges for incorporating student sketches, diagrams, etc. into classwork. Students are often limited to what they can design with basic shapes or already created pictures and graphics that are simply copied and pasted into work. In order to truly support our students in the engineering and design practices, it is important to provide them with the tools that will allow them to create their own designs and share them with others. Providing students with the opportunity to create higher quality work will also allow them to begin building their skill set in professional communication. The link below highlights 10 free sites for creating digital art and ranges from preschool to advanced high school students. Teachers could also use these tools to enhance their instructional materials.
