Where I’d Like to Go – An Icebreaker With Google Drawings

As I point out in the video above, you can customize this activity to be completed with Google Slides or Google Jamboard. And, as is also shown in the video above, you can use Google Classroom to distribute a template for the project.

The idea is to have trainees essentially place themselves anywhere in the world through making use of 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 fast and easy to get rid of 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 a picture of place that they wish to revisit or go to. They then insert their profile photo over the background image in Google Drawings. Those steps may sound complicated, but theyre not. In this short video I show the entire process..

As the new academic year begins numerous you may find yourself looking for some originalities to break the ice and get to understand your new trainees while they also learn more about each other. One thing that Ive constantly asked my trainees is “where in the world would you go if you could go anywhere today?” Recently, Ive started believing about turning that question into the prompt for an activity in which trainees discover a bit about
Google Drawings..
