Google Drawing - Create interactive activities embedded into Google Docs or HyperDocs

-
Did you know you can add Google Drawing images directly into a Google Doc with you opening the Google Drawing page? In Google Docs, if you click on Insert and then click on Drawing a Google Drawing window will pop up. You can build your image right in that window and embed the image in your document. The other cool thing you can do is create interactive activities with this trick. For example, you can insert different shapes and then have your students use the line tool from the Drawing window tool bar to show you lines of symmetry. The video below will show you how to set up an activity like this.

If you are a HyperDocs fan, this is a great tool to add some more interactivity to your Hyperdocs as well.
