Doodle History

I found this information on the following site (www.google.com/) while browsing the Internet. I think it is interesting for teachers to use in their teaching materials because most students like the google doodle. I remember a few weeks ago, my students started discussing both design and interactions (i.e; the google gitar, and the Marta Graham). So I will definitely use this in one of my lessons, mainly with design it is a good start to encourage creativity in the classroom. What I also like about google, they also encourage creativity in the classroom with the launch of their schools’ competition (USA only i think). They are definitely rooms for imagination with both animation, 3d, graphics and interaction students. I think this a nice case study for students as most are interacting with google on a daily basis.
