Welcome to 2022. Our introductions and google drawing task - all in one!

 CYBERSMART HAS BEGUN!

We used some features of google drawing to make some posters about ourselves.

Because of covid not all of us were in class to finish the slides and/or the posters but here is the slide deck and a summary of the learning that we did about google drawing.

LETTERING

We used Insert > Word Art to add our names to the poster.

From there we could:

• change the font
• change the fill (including a shaded gradient) and the border
• choose Format options - to add effects to our lettering

IMAGES

We used Tools > Explore to search for and insert Google images that we have permission to take from the internet.

From there we could:

• change the shape of the image by using the drop-down menu next to the cropping symbol and choose Mask image then choose a shape
• move the images around, rotate and resize them
• layer the images and use Arrange > Order > choose which one is in front

We also used the camera to take selfies and uploaded them onto the poster, or pasted them from the clipboard

BACKGROUND

If you press the mousepad with 2 fingers you get a Background option to choose the colour and style of fill for your background colour

ADDING THE PICTURE TO THE SLIDE DECK

You need to File > Download > as PNG image your drawing so it is ready in your downloads and/or on the clipboard to insert or paste onto the slides
