As the new academic year begins lots of you might find yourself trying to find some brand-new concepts to start a conversation and get to understand your new trainees while they also are familiar with each other. One thing that Ive constantly asked my trainees is “where on the planet would you go if you could go anywhere today?” Recently, Ive begun considering turning that question into the prompt for an activity in which students 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 use Google Classroom to disperse a template for the task.

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