Give students time to "chew" on the skill/topic together in small groups online. Last, have students reunite as a whole group to "savor" what they resonated. ]]> 2020-09-18 13:36:52 UTC https://padlet.com/khristinahunt/edrhc5ncjq8kubmu/wish/758648772 khristinahunt https://padlet.com/khristinahunt/edrhc5ncjq8kubmu/wish/758658738 Prevent off - topic conversations during online small groups by providing students time at the start of your session to discuss what's on their minds with their peers. Such conversations can begin with this or that school appropriate, a thankful thought, weekend plans etc. Better to work out any small group kinks with low - stake activities. ]]> 2020-09-18 13:38:54 UTC https://padlet.com/khristinahunt/edrhc5ncjq8kubmu/wish/758658738 khristinahunt https://padlet.com/khristinahunt/edrhc5ncjq8kubmu/wish/758672208 When introducing online small groups review the virtual classroom rules/norms that you and your students generated together. Go over why these rules are important and ensure them TRUST is imperative during these activities. ]]> 2020-09-18 13:41:40 UTC https://padlet.com/khristinahunt/edrhc5ncjq8kubmu/wish/758672208 khristinahunt https://padlet.com/khristinahunt/edrhc5ncjq8kubmu/wish/758679900 Curious to know what is happening in the online breakout small groups? You can join in to each session and prior to disbursing students into breakout rooms be sure to drop the link into the chat to share with them a padlet such as this, or a google jamboard, or google slide to capture their thoughts. This will help you watch in real time. If you notice a group is struggling be sure to swing into their online small group. ]]> 2020-09-18 13:43:19 UTC https://padlet.com/khristinahunt/edrhc5ncjq8kubmu/wish/758679900 khristinahunt https://padlet.com/khristinahunt/edrhc5ncjq8kubmu/wish/758693936 Assign a specific responsibility to each online small group participant. For example you could assign a student the role of the chat facilitator, who guides conversations, word processor who enters the responses in the shared document, the time keeper who monitors the groups pace, speaker sho shares thoughts to the whole group afterwards. ]]> 2020-09-18 13:46:27 UTC https://padlet.com/khristinahunt/edrhc5ncjq8kubmu/wish/758693936 khristinahunt https://padlet.com/khristinahunt/edrhc5ncjq8kubmu/wish/758708875 Pre - assign online small groups to save time. ]]> 2020-09-18 13:49:42 UTC https://padlet.com/khristinahunt/edrhc5ncjq8kubmu/wish/758708875 khristinahunt https://padlet.com/khristinahunt/edrhc5ncjq8kubmu/wish/758713859 Practice the good ole "proximity to the teacher" rule.

Assigning a minimum of 3 students per online small group will ensure it is not an awkward experience especially while building a sense of classroom community. ]]> 2020-09-18 13:53:53 UTC https://padlet.com/khristinahunt/edrhc5ncjq8kubmu/wish/758727135 khristinahunt https://padlet.com/khristinahunt/edrhc5ncjq8kubmu/wish/758739471 Inform students early and often in your level of trust and you believe in their ability to make good choices.
