until we finally come to the conclusion that there's never a good time for everyone to meet up. This removes text or email chains that go on, and on, and on without end. What's more is that they can also see other times that have been selected, so I feel like they are more willing to cooperate (if that makes sense). I can quickly send a link to teammates, who can quickly and easily access the poll and begin to select times that work. But the brilliant thing about Doodle is that it does the hard work for you! Here's what I love the best: - In a matter of a few moments, you can create a poll of options or available meeting times. It can be extremely difficult to arrange/schedule meetings, appointments, and events when multiple people are involved. When they’ve finished the other students can guess what the Doodle represents.Quickly deciding meeting times with groups of people - highly satisfied! PROS They design their own Google Doodle to represent the date. Students think of either an important date to them, or an important date to their country.
Teacher boards a few significant dates from their own life.ġ4 th November 1970 23 rd December 1998 etcĮxplain to students that these are the answers, what are the questions? Or teach them if you haven’t already done so!
Give vocab to help them: ‘ when were you born?’, ‘what year?’, ‘I’m older/younger than you’ etcĪfter activity, do some delayed correction on use of ordinal numbers. Students arrange themselves in order of their age. Here are the resources: Google Doodles resources
DOODLE DATES FULL
Here’s a full plan: Google Doodles lesson plan Keep reading for a summary of activities They change the doodle now and again for significant dates, and the Doodles website stores all the old logos they’ve created, allowing you to search through them. Also, a rarity for my lessons, there’s actually a language focus! Ordinal numbers…īy the way, the ‘Google Doodle’ is the Google logo on their web page. It’s designed for elementary/pre-intermediate learners, and from experience the last activity (designing your own Google Doodle) goes down well. I’d also recommend using other features on the Google Culture Institute (where you’ll find Art Project), as I imagine they’d be good for CLIL-based lessons.Īnyhow, just to follow up from Svetlana’s post, here’s a lesson based around Google Doodles. I’ve posted up a few things before about using Google Art Project and Google Trends, these serve a purpose for sure. I experimented with various Google platforms in the classroom, with mixed results. After a while I realised that I was trying to stop the ocean waves with a sieve, so I embraced the technology at our disposal and started to make lessons around it. I used to fight against technology and hated it when students always tapped away on their smart phones in class. Her comments on Google matched my experience. I read a great post from Svetlana Kandybovich yesterday on using Google games in the classroom. Home › Lesson Ideas › Using Google Doodles to revise dates
