We use several of the Google Apps. It really depends on what you are creating.
- Google Docs: for more text-heavy templates
- can insert a Google Drawing for interactivity
- page color/layout can be changed
- inserting tables is a great way to separate "chunks" of info
- Google Slides: for more detailed or multi-page templates
- can change the size/layout
- can change the "theme" &/or color of entire slide deck
- can insert an image as the background to "freeze" it (less likely to be accidentally deleted/moved) GREAT for the little ones!
- Google Sheets: for data heavy pieces
- pixel art is a fabulous creative activity!
- Google Drawing: if it will be limited to one "page"
- can change the background color
- can put an image as the bottom layer, but not as a "frozen" image
- Google Forms: for collection of information/data
- can be "pretty" by changing the theme & font
- various question types
- videos and images can be incorporated
But there is NO right or wrong!

Sit back and watch students go to work! Allow, even encourage, students to help each other learn & work with the tools in Slides/Drawings. If they can teach each other, you might learn something, too!
