#FutureReady Empower Students as Creators It’s Not Too Late for a Back-to-School Selfie Adventure This is the best time to connect with students and getting them to connect with peers as part of a community. Get students to talk about themselves by presenting selfies they have taken as part of a mission you have sent them on, maybe it’s about books they read, activities they have participated in, places they’ve been, or other experiences. First, get students to watch the video, Around the World in 360° Degrees, and reflect on it. Then show students the sample teacher selfie adventure. The next slideshow is a Google Slides template (better yet, let them design their slideshow and topics) for students to use for uploading their selfies. You can set this template to transition with slide timings of 20 seconds. The idea is to get students to share their completed selfie missions in a 6 minute, 40 second presentation or Ignite (explained on the next page) presentation 5 minute presentation. Present to the class or in small groups. Selfies are an important part of your students’ digital identities. Their selfies help them humanize their digital experience. With this activity we can get students to transform their selfies into meaningful adventures with them at the center stepping out of their comfort zones and exploring the world around them.
