How can I organize my online class?

What to consider when organizing online interactions:

​

• LMS (Learning Management System) suggested or imposed

• videoconferences schedule
• collaboration with other ESL colleagues
• decide where-how to share information: students/parents

• LISTEN FOR FEEDBACK AND ADJUST.

​

Organizing students

What you can do before the lesson:

​

• give access to information about the class (intention, instructions, resources)

Other ideas of what students can do while interacting online

Using surveys for C1

Using interactive quizzes for C1

Ideas to use quizzes for C1:

• Collectively agree on answers to questions.
• Discuss possible answers to questions.
• Collectively create quizzes for other students.

​

​

​

​

Ideas to use surveys for C1:

• Discuss the results of class surveys to prompt C1.

EX: 70% of the class just said they… Should the government limit the....

• Have students design surveys or polls collaboratively for real audiences.
• Use survey tools to gather data after consensus from the team.

EX: Which beverage is the most eco-friendly?

Then have the students read texts that will add nuance to opinions.

​

​

Discussion prompts

1. Create breakout rooms and assign them. Students join their room.
2. The leader of team goes to menti.com Code:
3. The leader shares his or her screen.
4. The students discuss the question and after coming to a consensus, write their answer.

-------

• After seeing the results of this first survey, students individually read different information-based texts that will shake their original answer.
• After debating, the team answers the question again using menti.com

code:
