The big reveal … how we made the workshop work (hopefully) for YOUR contexts (Medium tech)

1. Google Meet: Online workshop that has the best chance of success in RDP contexts (MS Teams excluded some the previous time)
2. Google Meet Chat: Music, Emojis, Langage, What I see, hear, feel: Neuro-education friendly, culturally inclusive & Trauma-sensitive activities
3. Google Slides: Big fonts, shareable, just works
4. Dixit cards: Creativity and a way to open up discussion
5. Answergarden.ch: Back-channel where ALL voices can be heard
6. Google forms:
1. Questionnaire: Presence checking, who you are, your universities T&L
2. Quiz: Checking for knowledge, active learning, fun activity
7. Bit.ly: Short web links and QR Codes - Think mobile friendly
