right now i am making my way through the muddied waters of the ADDIE process of instructional system design. while this process is long and intense i am very much looking forward to my team's final product, a google site to teach teachers about web 2.0 tools. one of the activities my team was required to do in the process was make a google drawing of the media assets we are going to include on our google site. i had never used google drawing before so i was a little nervous, but once i got started it was so much fun! google drawing is a powerful tool that allows multiple users to edit a drawing in real time, and what made it all the better was that my team was also hanging out through google+ so we were able to talk to each other through out the whole process. google has allowed my team to become more connected and collaborative through its wonderful free tools, yes i said free. i am continually amazed at what the google products can do. so if you are not using google docs, drawings or + yet, go check them out, but be prepared to be blown away.

here is a first draft of our google drawing.
