Engagement in Zoom
Description: This video provides strategies for building engagement between Zoom and in-classroom learners. Ideas for collaboration and participation are also provided.
UPDATE: Some recommendations in this video require the instructor to be logged in to Zoom on a computer personally during class meetings - and not just use the FlexSync classroom touchpad setup. A separate login to Zoom by the instructor AND students is required to use breakout rooms and chat with ALL learners - both those in class and those via Zoom.
Other recommendations in the video don't require this separate Zoom login, so take a look at the video! The slide deck file is included below as well as a sample "Video Notes" document for students.
