Graphic organizers are great for organizing thinking around a writing piece, research project, note-taking, finding relationships between topics and more. Having a digital graphic organizer using Google drawings where an entire group can edit at the same time can also be helpful. Eric Curtis links to a variety of graphic organizers built in Google drawings. Graphic Organizers Templates - Eric Curtis
Another way to use Google drawings is to have them embedded in a Google document (Insert - Drawing) The downside is that the drawing tool does not expand so you have a fixed space, but the upside is that the graphic organizer is with the rest of the project so students can easily refer to them while writing. Students can remove the drawings from the document before turning it in or keep the graphic organizer in the document for reference.
