As the new school year starts many you may find yourself looking for some brand-new ideas to get and break the ice to know your brand-new trainees while they likewise get to know each other. One thing that Ive always asked my students is “where in the world would you go if you could go anywhere today?” Recently, Ive begun thinking about turning that question into the timely for an activity in which students discover a bit about
Google Drawings..

The idea is to have trainees virtually put themselves throughout the world through the use of Google Drawings. To do this students initially need to find a photo of themselves and remove the background from it. Photoscissors makes it simple and fast to eliminate the background then download a new background-free image. Once they have a photo of themselves then trainees open Google Drawings where they place a photo of location that they desire to revisit or go to. Finally, they then place their profile photo over the background image in Google Drawings. Those steps may sound complicated, however theyre not. In this brief video I show the entire procedure..

As I mention in the video above, you can customize this activity to be finished with Google Slides or Google Jamboard. And, as is also demonstrated in the video above, you can utilize Google Classroom to distribute a design template for the task.
