Adding Video to a Google Drawing

Google Drawing does not have an "insert video" feature. the good news is there IS a work around for that! If you add a video to a Google slide, you can copy and past that video over to Google Drawing (see the steps below).
Why you ask? Imagine how much more interactive and engaging poster projects in Drawings could become. What if you pushed an assignment out in Drawing that asked students to watch the video and create a graphic organizer as they view the video? Think of the potential for flipped learning! Having an instructional video right there as a point reference while working on a Google Drawing assignment. This is exciting news! The possibilities are endless!
