Drawing

I had never used Drawing before, and I was glad to find out that it is included in Google Drive.  I really like the idea of being able to do basic drawing type things online, with multiple editors.  I think all of these programs become immediately more useful when you are able to interact and collaborate online in real time.  To me, this means that students can work on a project together, from their homes.  They can also work in a classroom setting with each other.

Drawing lets you insert text, pictures, word art, and clip art.  You can also do basic line drawings, arrows, shapes, and links.  Students could make a poster with Drawing, or a diagram to explain a concept.  Younger students could draw in response to a reading in class.  It is also simple to print out your finished work and bring in a hard copy to class.
