In this workshop, Katherine Cadwell and her students from Harwood Union High School share their experiences addressing the specific challenges of planning for and facilitating successful virtual discussions.
Students describe how to create a functional classroom climate, how young people can work with teachers to set norms for online dialogue, and techniques and strategies to facilitate virtual discussions.
You’ll confront some of the most common roadblocks to healthy & respectful discussions, and learn the norms students recommend for removing them — or better yet, preventing them even starting. We’ll also look at some tech tips for creating engaging and functional online spaces for these dialogues.
How can we work with our students to engage in virtual discussions that are highly engaging and grounded in mutual respect, collaboration and trust?
