Google AutoDraw

Google AutoDraw is a web-based drawing tool that will convert student drawings into awesome sharp clipart like images that students can download and use in projects.  It guesses what students are drawing in livetime to give students suggestions of cleaner images they can choose from for their drawing.  Students don't need to login and can share their image with you by a sharable link or even download the image and upload into Docs, Slides or Classroom as needed. 

I find AutoDraw extremely easy to utilize.  The "Did you mean" feature helps me turn my scribbles into art!  It actually knows what I was trying to draw!  As a struggling artist (struggling in the sense that I can't draw), I find AutoDraw allows me to actually create professional looking pictures that I can be proud to share and use in my work.  I am so proud, I am sharing an image of an AutoDraw I am in the middle of creating.  

*Note - I just drew my amazing image of a fish in orange.  On the toolbar above the drawing, AutoDraw is giving me suggestions I can then utilize instead.
