As the new academic year begins many you might discover yourself trying to find some new ideas to get and break the ice to know your brand-new trainees while they also learn more about each other. One thing that Ive always asked my students is “where on the planet would you go if you could go anywhere today?” Recently, Ive started thinking of turning that question into the prompt for an activity in which trainees find out a bit about
Google Drawings..

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 utilize Google Classroom to distribute a template for the project.

The concept is to have students practically position themselves anywhere in the world through the use of Google Drawings. To do this students initially need to discover an image of themselves and eliminate the background from it. Once they have a picture of themselves then trainees open Google Drawings where they place a photo of place that they want to visit or revisit.
