Leveraging Interactive Tools in Zoom to Keep Students Engaged (Workshop #1)

As the old saying goes, two heads are better than one. Educators have been employing this concept for decades by pairing student up or having them work in small groups. The good news is that you can use the same types of activities in virtual class meetings. 

Join this interactive workshop with Lea Rosenberry, Penn State’s lead Zoom trainer, to learn how to use Zoom for collaboration. Leverage Zoom tools such as private chat, breakout rooms and annotations. Feel confident choosing the most appropriate collaboration tool in Zoom for your purposes.

Participants will be able to:

  • Use Zoom tools to promote collaboration during virtual class meetings
  • Apply best practices for using private chat, breakout rooms and annotations
  • Choose the best Zoom tool to accomplish instructional goals
