Where I’d Like to Go – An Icebreaker With Google Drawings

The idea is to have trainees practically put themselves anywhere in the world through the use of Google Drawings. To do this trainees first need to find an image of themselves and get rid of the background from it. Once they have a picture of themselves then trainees open Google Drawings where they place an image of location that they want to revisit or go to.

As I point out in the video above, you can modify this activity to be completed with Google Slides or Google Jamboard. And, as is also demonstrated in the video above, you can utilize Google Classroom to distribute a template for the assignment.

As the new school year starts lots of you might discover yourself trying to find some originalities to break the ice and get to understand your new students while they also are familiar with each other. Something that Ive constantly asked my trainees is “where in the world would you go if you could go anywhere today?” Just recently, Ive started considering turning that question into the prompt for an activity in which trainees find out a bit about
Google Drawings..
