Most of us have likely used Google Docs to create a document, share information, collaborate, and simply get things done. But did you know that you can insert an image into a Google Doc using your camera? I had a teacher share with me the following article as he was looking to integrate this into his classroom.
Alice Keeler Shared Adding Images Article -- In the article she outlines the process of adding images to a Google Doc by using the Chromebook Camera all while being in the Google Doc. She is the author of two books about using Google Classroom. The article is in response to a feature that Google Classroom added where students can add pictures or video responses to assignments in Google Classroom. The problem is, this function is currently only available in the app and not on Chromebooks. So to allow for a similar experience, you can add a Google Doc to Classroom to make a copy for each student, and then have them take a picture of their work using the Insert Picture tool in Google Docs. With the flipping ability of our cameras, students could have images, math problems on their desk and take pictures of it. They could go on a scavenger hunt to find images that represent concepts or ideas, they are studying. The idea of walking around with a chromebook should be introduced with expectations for behavior before you allow your students to embark on this learning journey. Think about how you could use the chromebook camera to create new lessons or activities for students. Share your ideas in the comments section.
