5.30.20 BREAKOUT ROOMS in Webex Training Center
Many of you are familiar with setting up a Webex meeting and have asked can Web Meeting do break out rooms like Zoom? No, it can't. (Webex Meeting version 40.9+ is now capable...updated 08.30.20) But all HIDOE employees with a k12.hi.us account have access to Webex Training.
Setting up a Webex Training session is similar to setting up a Webex Meeting with a few extra features. One of the features you can activate before or during the meeting is breakout sessions. Teachers should practice setting up break out sessions and managing them prior to using them.
Like putting students in small groups in face to face learning, setting behavioral expectations, utilizing open ended critical thinking questions, and procedures for individual and group accountability are best practices that still should be utilized in virtual breakout rooms.
