 Okay, so here I am in Google Docs and I want to create a drawing. I want to create a concept map or a diagram of something, so I've opened up a new Google Doc and in this I'm going to insert a drawing. That opens up a new drawing window for me and there's some wonderful tools in here that I can use to create my drawing. I'm going to do a concept map of a concept map. So in this case, I want to grab a first shape, I'm going to grab a rectangle. You can see there's a bunch of different shapes available and put this one right at the top as my fill node. I'd like some text on top of that, so I'm going to grab the text tool and click the text box there and say that this is a concept map. This is my primary node there and hit enter and that will go in there. Maybe I'll put that right in the middle with my arrow key, so that's right on top of that. Well, a concept map has a couple of different attributes, one attribute that it has and I'll select just a simple oval here, it has a double click on it and add the lines. So a concept map has lines as part of it, but it also has, I'm going to copy this whole node with the text in it, copy and then paste it and then drag it over to the side, it gives it saves me a little time there and double click on it and change the text to nodes. So we can see that a concept map has both lines and nodes. Now we want to deal with the relationships between the different items in the concept map or the diagram that you're making and that's where the arrows come in handy. So I'm going to say a concept map has lines and the concept map also has nodes. So I've got the arrows to do that, but I'm also going to take some text and I'm going to put the word has here, I'm going to get a lower case there, has and enter for that one. I'm going to change the font down to make this a little bit smaller because it's a relationship and scoot it down with my arrow key. I'll copy and paste that and use that again because I have the same word over in the other one is here as well. So I've got a concept map that has lines and a concept map also has nodes, but the lines and the nodes have a relationship. So I'm going to grab my arrow key again here, my arrow tool and I'm going to say that lines and let's go back and grab some text here, copy and paste that down and change the text here as well. So I'm going to say relate pairs of nodes and hit the enter key and that changes that one, scoot it down a little bit there. So I've used this insert drawing tool to create these different nodes, these different boxes or different items and then I can use the arrows and relationships to relate how that system or diagram or concept map goes together. I could use a variety of different other things that I've not looked at yet like for instance the squiggle tool, I could use that one if I had a relationship that was a little bit more wavery and perhaps at the end of that at an arrow that would be a little bit different maybe at the beginning of that at an arrow this way and perhaps it's even a dotted relationship and perhaps something like that I could change the one with I could play with the colors here and really kind of do a lot of different things here that I'm not showing you here but I'm sure you can play around them. I could add some photos to my instead of these diagram type things I could show these as little graphics that I could pull in from other places. So there's a lot of things that you can do in here to create very quickly the diagram or the concept map that you're interested in. When you're done you could hit the save and close button in the upper right here and that will save it right into your Google Docs so you can save it and work on this later on or save it in there and type text around it or don't forget this one here if I go down here and I say download this as a JPEG so what I could do here is grab an image of just this thing and I'm going to save this to my computer here so that now, yep good that's going down and I could save I can add that as right into a blog post that I might have if I'm looking to share this diagram with someone else in a blog in a web page or someplace else so there's a lot of ways I can do that I'll click the save and close button and you can see that diagram is now in my Google document and I can type around it so I can spell correctly, type around it with the text with my report etc. so play around with it it's a great tool to know how to use.
