I plan on using the Socratic Seminar to conclude our next class novel.  I am curious to see how this will go as a whole group (all cohorts together).  The students have developed a new sense of patience when it comes to class discussions that involve all cohorts..  I think having expectations when someone is not able to hear, or connection is glitchy, or with any other road block that presents itself so that we can continue on without frustration.  There are some great tips in there. Thank you so much!

I'm hoping to use a Socratic seminar/breakout rooms in the near future for topics that are divisive so that students are able to wrestle with different ideas  throughout the process. I used something similar for voting rights, but that was more of a standard class discussion rather than Socratic. I've been apprehensive to use breakout rooms because I fear that a good chunk of my students are still working on executive functioning skills that might be required for this type of activity. I'm wondering: what can we do as teachers if students aren't engaging in breakout rooms? Should we try to prompt their thinking, or is there a point where we need to say "this isn't working, we need to try something different."

That encourages talk, but I'm still trying to figure out how to replicate that in a digital platform

The Socratic Seminar is something I have never heard of before, so it was very interesting for me to check out. I think it would be great for me to start implementing some of these in my lessons. I haven't branched out and used breakout rooms with my students yet, I am worried about their ability to stay on task and get work done. Hopefully, with these new resources I will be able to start!

My biggest question, in today's hybrid model, is:
How can we ensure that the remote learners are actively engaged and are not "stepping away" from their screens, especially while in breakout rooms?  2020: a year full of thus unforeseen challenges!

Thank you again!
