Bondie suggests that teachers use three tools in facilitating and monitoring small-group conversations to ensure that they’re productive and to measure learning when students are in breakout rooms.
NOTE-CATCHER DOCUMENT
A Google Doc can be used as a central location for students to take notes during discussions in breakout rooms, and teachers can monitor and help guide discussions in real-time. “Teachers can provide feedback efficiently by inserting comments and questions into the note catcher,” writes Bondie. “When the teacher sees a group having difficulty getting started, then the teacher can enter that breakout room to help.”
Use the same discussion structure techniques you rely on in the classroom. Leave directions for students in the note catcher, using graphics or pictures to provide simple, clear directions.
