As the new academic year begins numerous you might discover yourself looking for some originalities to get and break the ice to understand your brand-new trainees while they also learn more about 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 concern into the prompt for an activity in which students find out a bit about
Google Drawings..

The concept is to have students virtually put themselves anywhere in the world through the use of Google Drawings. To do this trainees initially require to discover an image of themselves and get rid of the background from it. Photoscissors makes it easy and quick to get rid of the background then download a brand-new background-free image. Once they have an image of themselves then students open Google Drawings where they insert a photo of place that they want to check out or review. Finally, they then place their profile photo over the background image in Google Drawings. Those actions may sound complicated, but theyre not. In this short video I show the entire procedure..

As I point out in the video above, you can customize 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 template for the task.
