The meeting host of the main session can select participants to allocate into various breakout rooms.ĭivide your main Zoom meeting into separate sessions, and then bring these small groups back together to resume the larger group meeting.
If you’re new to Padlet, click here to get a free Padlet with my referral link.Breakout rooms are private sessions that are split off from your main Zoom meeting. The free version of Padlet is somewhat limited, but still worth checking out. You can post a few prompts and have students respond to the prompts by adding their own notes and images. I’m also a big fan of Padlet for collaborative activities. Still, make sure to check out Jamboard if you haven’t already because it’s a super helpful and versatile tool. Since Jamboard additions are anonymous and there’s no revision history, it may not be the best option if you’d like to hold students accountable for their contributions or are worried about students accidentally deleting others’ content.
If you’re doing a quick activity and don’t really need to account for who wrote what, Jamboard is a great choice.
Google’s Jamboard is another popular option for online collaboration. In Google Slides, students are working in small groups on their assigned slide only, so things just don’t feel as crowded from an end-user perspective. I generally prefer using Google Slides over Google Docs, though, because if there are too many people on a Google Doc, you can sometimes feel like you’re getting “bumped into” when people are typing above you. Google Docs is another easy option for collaborative discussions. Then, click the blue “Use Template” button in the top right corner to add it to your Google Drive. This will launch the slides as a view-only preview. This makes it easy to see what each group is up to and which groups may need additional prompting.Ĭlick the button below to download the note taker templates in this post. Use the “Grid View” in Google Slides to monitor breakout room activity (see screenshot above). Send students to breakout rooms and have them respond to the discussion prompts on their group’s assigned slide. You’ll want one for each class period, along with a blank copy that you can reuse for future discussions.Ĭlick the Share button in the top corner and set your link sharing permissions to “Anyone with the link can edit.” This is the link you’ll share with students in your Zoom/Google Meet chat. Make a copy of the slideshow to share with students. Create an additional slide for each individual breakout room. Add student directions and discussion prompts to the first slide. Create a new slideshow in Google Slides (or save time & download my template below!).
