Are you looking to do something different to avoid those “blank face gaze”. Send the students out on a mission to capture photos of everyday objects in the classroom or throughout the school. Set a time limit for returning to their seat. Once students are back in seats provide them with a link to a Google Forms where they will upload the images. Now open the folder and click on the Chrome Driveslides extension, and boom a slide deck of images is created. Brainstorm with the students how you may use the images to support the content area.
Example ideas:
- Spanish Class:
- Create a custom vocabulary
- Write a story about the image
- Add an audio recording explaining what the image is.
- Vocaroo is an easy to use audio recorder
- Allows you to save audio files to your drive
- Vocaroo is an easy to use audio recorder
- Math:
- Create math word problems involving the images
- Look for shapes
- Find the area and perimeter of objects in the image
- ELA:
- Write a school adventure illustrated story
- Describe an image and it’s usage
- Create school how to tutorials using the images
