For our virtual lessons (as well as F2f lessons), we as educators need to heighten engagement. So, here are some tools to do that. In each lesson no matter what the subject…. make sure to do put some hooks, games,memes and even jokes in there. Movement of course works too.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

JOKES<\/strong>: Actually, my 11 year old daughter is the one who suggested adding in jokes and memes to my PPTs. It’s been a win. I’ve added a segment in some classes called, “Bad Jokes by Ms. King”. This has gotten great rolling eyes smiles.

Either way, it creates a connection to the subject matter and some levity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
