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

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

The concept is to have trainees practically position themselves anywhere in the world through the usage of Google Drawings. To do this students first need to find a photo of themselves and eliminate the background from it. Photoscissors makes it fast and easy to remove the background then download a brand-new background-free image. Once they have an image of themselves then students open Google Drawings where they place a photo of location that they wish to check out or revisit. Finally, they then place their profile picture over the background image in Google Drawings. Those actions may sound complex, but theyre not. In this brief video I reveal the entire process..

As the brand-new school year starts lots of you may find yourself searching for some brand-new ideas to get and break the ice to know your new trainees while they also get to know each other. Something that Ive always asked my trainees is “where worldwide would you go if you could go anywhere today?” Recently, Ive begun thinking about turning that concern into the prompt for an activity in which students discover a bit about
Google Drawings..
