As the brand-new school year starts lots of you may discover yourself trying to find some originalities to start a conversation and get to know your brand-new students while they also get to understand each other. One thing that Ive constantly asked my trainees is “where on the planet would you go if you could go anywhere today?” Just recently, Ive started considering turning that concern into the prompt for an activity in which students find out a bit about
Google Drawings..

The concept is to have students practically put themselves throughout the world through using Google Drawings. To do this students first require to find an image of themselves and get rid of the background from it. Photoscissors makes it quick and easy to get rid of the background then download a new background-free image. Once they have a picture of themselves then trainees open Google Drawings where they insert an image of place that they wish to review or visit. They then place their profile picture over the background image in Google Drawings. Those actions may sound complex, however theyre not. In this short video I reveal the entire process..

As I discuss in the video above, you can customize this activity to be completed with Google Slides or Google Jamboard. And, as is likewise demonstrated in the video above, you can utilize Google Classroom to distribute a design template for the project.
