Apps for Art
If you or other teachers in your building are blessed with ipads, these are some fantastic art apps. If you only have access to one ipad, you can hook your projector to an apple tv and display the single ipad to the screen so all the kids can take turns. You can also ask other teachers or librarians to share their ipads or tablets for certain lessons.
You can buy a new Apple TV for around $120 on Amazon.
Or get one used from McKays or Facebook marketplace for much less..

Programs to Support Art Instruction
Google Workspace Programs:
All students have access to these programs that can serve as a platform for assignments and projects.
Students can use Google Slides to post images for their portfolios, create artwork with shapes and graphics, and you could even use hyperdocs (Embedded Links) to get information to students quickly and easily.
Share almost anything with students and parents by creating a Google Site. You can use it as a vessel for students to access online materials and activities and suggest at-home activities that families can access as well.Click the icon to learn more about setting up a google site.
Google Drawings lets students create designs using shapes and images and then allows them to easily save them in their Google Drive to use in other programs.
Jamboard acts like a digital whiteboard but with SO many more possibilities…Click the icon for information and templates for Jamboard.
Kami’s Drawing and annotation tools (videos, voice comments, etc) Make it perfect for artwork. Kami’s library has templates for many activities, or you can upload your own.
Though Canva is not google, it is AMAZING!!! It has templates for any and everything that you can imagine. It is very user-friendly and can be used with Google Classroom to create assignments.

Classflow:
Classflow is a free site that allows you to send questions to a student’s screen. Then, students can respond and send their answers back to you so that everyone can see. There are multiple question types, but the “creative” poll allows students to free write or draw. For littles, they can use their fingers on the screens of the chromebooks. Students simply put in the class code to join the session.The “Instant whiteboard” is the easiest and fastest tool, but you can get fancier by building out full lessons (which act like almost like pear deck).
Here is an entire Presentation on Classflow.
Link to Student Join Site
You can add the Student Join Link as an app from the student library in classlink!
