How to Make Online Learning Engaging - Intervention Tip of the Week

Hey there!

How are you all managing in the new day and age of all-digital teaching? It’s a little crazy, exhilarating at times, and frustrating at times. We are experiencing all the emotions over here. That being said, now that we’ve been at this a few weeks we feel like we’re settling into the new normal.

For our intervention tip of the week, we wanted to make sure to bring you all something really valuable and actionable because we know how hard this can be right now to figure out how to keep your students engaged! In our small group and 1:1 sessions - we’re trying to leverage interactive games as much as possible.

How to Make Online Learning Engaging

If you have been following us for a while, you may have heard us talk about how to create online interactive games using tools like PowerPoint. The reality, however, may be, that you don’t have TIME to create games from scratch. So today we’re going to share with you one of our favorite online interactive games. To make this interactive, you need to be on a computer - not a tablet device, and ideally, you’re using a program like Zoom that allows students to have screen control so they can move pieces with you. But…that being said, even if you need to roll a die, or spin a spinner for your students and move their game pieces - most of them are just excited to play with you.
