They then insert their profile picture over the background image in Google Drawings. Those actions may sound complex, however theyre not. In this brief video I reveal the entire process..

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 shown in the video above, you can use Google Classroom to disperse a design template for the assignment.
