How to Use the Drawing Tool

Some Studies Weekly Online questions allow students to use the Drawing Tool. Students will be able to do the following:

  • Free draw with a pen, brush, or highlighter (with color options)
  • Add basic shapes (with color and size options)
  • Fill the canvas with a paint bucket
  • Add text (with font and color options)
  • Earn coins

Teachers can assign various types of artifacts to students including a blank canvas, a Digital Printable PDF, a picture their teacher has uploaded, or a picture from a Studies Weekly publication. 

     

 

To interact with the assigned artifact, a student will use the tools on screen. 

To flatten a shape or finish typing letters, students need to click on the blank canvas. Once images have been flattened, they cannot be edited on the canvas, but they can be removed with the Undo button. 2025-04-03.gif
