1. What are meaningful tasks that I can include in my Virtual Room?
Between Day 1 and Day 2, hopefully you have settled on a topic for your Virtual Room. With your topic in mind, begin thinking about meaningful tasks you can include in your room. What is meant by a meaningful task? Most meaningful tasks included in a Virtual Room are ones that require students to engage in critical thinking, creating, responding, or producing some sort of product. Including at least one meaningful task in your room is a way to set the stage with expectations on use, navigation, and results. Some possible meaningful tasks that can be worked into your room:
Scavenger Hunt
iSpy
Social-Emotional Check In
Formative Assessment
EDU Protocols - After students have had the opportunity to explore and learn, use an EDU Protocol (such as Cyber Sandwich) to help them strengthen their communication, collaboration, and comprehension!
Any other task you see fitting!
