Shapegrams - Picture Puzzles (from Google) https://shapegrams.com/ Shapegrams - Picture Puzzles (from Google)
Shapegrams are pictures that are designed to be recreated using shapes, lines, and colors. Replicating the pictures helps develop and practice visual observation, spacial awareness, logical reasoning, and critical thinking.
Shapegrams are packaged inside Google Drawings documents. Google Drawings is free and the same drawing tools can be found in Google Slides. It’s easy for teachers to modify a Google Drawings document to meet their needs, and it’s simple for students to get their own copies.
Canva : online design platform https://www.canva.com/ Canva : online design platform
Right from the start, our vision at Canva has been to allow everyone to take their idea and turn it into a beautiful design.
The Canva journey began back in 2007, while Melanie Perkins was studying at the University of Western Australia. Melanie was teaching students how to use programs like InDesign and Photoshop — programs that people found hard to learn, and harder to use.
After tossing around the idea for Fusion Books with co-founder Cliff Obrecht, the pair decided to take out a loan and bring in a great tech team to build their online tool for creating school yearbooks. They didn’t really know what they were in for but thankfully they learned a lot in those early days; how to sell, how to recruit great people, and how to build a business.
