Hey Eric! Always fun to meet a fellow Google geek! Slides and Drawings are so similar. Only major differences I’ve found: 1. Slides has multiple canvases (slides), while drawings works with one canvas. You can share either and download either as an image file. 2. You can insert videos into slides and you can’t in Drawings. (Officially you can’t. There’s a copy/paste hack that lets you do it, though.) Using Slides with a single slide is almost the same as Drawings. If you only want to use one slide/image, I recommend Drawings because it simplifies the user interface for students. Hope that helps.

Ah! Autodraw! Find it here: https://www.autodraw.com/ Uses AI and machine learning to turn your doodles into images/shapes/clipart. Pretty cool.

I just found your site and love it! It’s a Google geeks best friend. I’m finally moving through my certification and am applying g suite to my work as a choir director. Ok…enough of that for now. My question for now has to do with slides vs drawings for infographics. Is there a big difference in functionality between the two? And if not, why wouldn’t you just use slides particularly if you are building one of those tall infographics? Then when you are done, you’re ready to present.

I always forget about it. I’m surprised you didn’t mention using AutoDraw to insert images as well. 🙂 It’s such a fun new feature!

Google Drawings is the one Google App that does not work well with iPads. It is much better suited for Chromebooks/laptops. Hopefully Google will do some work on the back end to make it more user-friendly on the iPads.
