Tips to make Zoom sessions interactive (Part 4)

I hope you’ve enjoyed my series of tips to get the most from online interactions – whether that is lessons, staff meetings or even family catch-ups. Here are my last three tips for now:

1. Ask everyone to draw a response. These can be all held up together, or shown one by one and the ‘artist’ can explain or comment briefly.

2. Try the chat countdown method: Ask everyone to type their response in chat, then wait for the countdown before pressing Enter (3, 2, 1, ENTER!) This is fun, and means participants aren’t influenced by what others are writing.

3. Use Polls.  They don’t take long to set up and are a great way to get everyone interacting. (The image below shows one we used at a Philosophy for Children session about consensus.)
