Keep the #CreateWithChrome Holiday Spirit Rolling

I just finished collaborating on one of the most fun professional projects ever. Brian Briggs and
Ryan O'Donnell of Check This Out podcast fame asked asked amazing Ontario, Canada
educator Jen Giffen (also a podcaster) to help them build an
advent calendar full of activities that are creative and can all be done on the Chromebook.




Each day featured some Christmas or holiday themed activity, but there's no reason why now that
the lights and ornaments are packed away, that each Chromebook tool can't be utilized for other
purposes. For example, on Day 11 I introduced Wayfair's 3d room planner which lets users design
their own spaces, furnished (of course) by objects available to buy through the online home store's
website. Have kids create the bedroom of a book character or design an original space and write
about why they chose what they chose. 




There are 25 different fun sites to try and only a few are holiday-specific like Elf-Yourself so
most are great tools the whole year round. 


Grab your own copy of the 2019 Create With Chrome Advent Calendar and have fun exploring.
In the meanwhile check out some of the fun projects various Twitter users made and shared this
Christmas season with the #CreateWithChrome hashtag
