There’s always a couple students who take up most of the conversation in class. It’s good to have them engaged, but how do you bring in the rest of the class and read the full pulse of the room? (we call this collaborative equity, allowing the full set of diverse perspectives to be heard)
What I’ve found helps is having a Lucidspark board that highlights the different discussion points and prompts input along the way. I do have to remind them that they have multiple ways of interacting now, whether chiming in live or on the board, but I’ve found these prompts in Visual Activities or questions on the board with sticky notes ready to fill in makes it easy and clear where we want their input.
Recently I shared an example in this video, showcasing how to accomplish these kind of ends.
What tips do you have for getting the whole class engaged?
