We all know class discussions are a powerful vehicle for student learning. Class discussions turn passive listening into active learning and challenges their thinking by exposing them to diverse perspectives that deepen their overall understanding.
However it is often hard to get ALL students actively engaged in a class discussion and often students are bored of doing the same type of discussion every time.
Mix it up and have some fun with our new “Cat Chats” and “Doggo Dialogues” templates.
- Start by opening the template: Cat Chats or Doggo Dialogues
- Add your discussion question or prompt to the board and customize as needed
- Share out with your students using Canvas or a collaborative share-link
- Students enter the board and start by using a sticky note to add their initial response to the board.
- Then, they read through each other’s sticky notes and drag out the cat chats or doggo dialogues to respond to their classmates thinking.
Last, but not least there is so much more fun to be had. Create your own fun discussion boards and share them with the community below! I’ve got some Lucid swag for my favorite ;)
