My takeaways:
1. Let students conference/argue/justify their grade.  I am planning to do this with my students this semester, so I found that part interesting - I'm up for further discussion with other teachers around this and hope it goes well in a couple weeks.
2. A quick check in from students with Google form - everyone has a voice and you get a quick "climate" check of your classroom.

ACTIONABLE TIPS
~Personal motivators
~The difference in the words we say and the sincerity in which we say them
~Some of this reminded me a little of Brene Brown
~ We all know the importance of relationships with students, but do we really talk about some effective ways to make that work in a classroom setting?
~The importance of hush
~Not allowed to raise hand while another student is speaking
~Participation, hesitation, information, clarification
~"It's amazing what we say is not what they hear"
~"When I started doing this, I realized that my students did not normally hear me."

The first part of the video includes some basic navigation/manipulation tips for google drawings.  Then most of the remaining  content is centered around ways to create graphic organizers, venn diagrams, charts, etc.  They walk you through how to use colors, transparency, and emphasize the fact that students can turn them in through google classroom.  In turn, you would save time that you would have been spending at the copy machine and grading papers.  

I may try to integrate some ideas by having my students create a roadmap of the upcoming unit, or maybe at the end as a review, through the use of a google drawing. Some easy applications for projects that include any statistical information too.
