As the new academic year starts numerous you might find yourself searching for some originalities to start a conversation and get to understand your new trainees while they also get to understand each other. One thing that Ive constantly asked my students is “where in the world would you go if you could go anywhere today?” Just recently, Ive begun thinking about turning that question into the prompt for an activity in which students discover a bit about
Google Drawings..

The idea is to have students essentially position themselves throughout the world through the usage of Google Drawings. To do this trainees initially require to find a photo of themselves and get rid of the background from it. Photoscissors makes it quick and simple to eliminate the background then download a brand-new background-free image. Once they have a photo of themselves then trainees open Google Drawings where they place an image of place that they wish to review or visit. Lastly, they then insert their profile picture over the background image in Google Drawings. Those steps may sound complicated, but theyre not. In this brief video I reveal the entire procedure..

As I discuss in the video above, you can modify this activity to be finished with Google Slides or Google Jamboard. And, as is likewise demonstrated in the video above, you can utilize Google Classroom to disperse a design template for the assignment.
