DESIGN

FOR INTERACTIVITY AND ENGAGEMENT

Introduce a "Learning Buddy"

Choose names off the chat roster to be partners. Throughout the session have "buddies connect via chat to share learning lessons.

Have "learning buddies" share a question to another pair to answer, in a chat version of "Hot Potato".

Create a solid download. Have it explain activities, incorporates note-taking, and may include a pen & paper activity such as "BINGO" or brainstorming.
