Group Engagement
Goal: In the moment understanding of different perspectives
Have a group and want to get a sense of how they're feeling? Google Jamboard can be really fun for supporting that.
Setup: Jamboard (and similar tools like Flinga.fi) allow participants to post notes and move them around freely. It's interactive and pretty fun.
Go over instructions on how to post so they know .
Privacy:
Remind potential participants that they can use incognito browsers to ensure anonymity.
For your jamboard files to be anonymous, make sure the link sharing permissions "anyone with the link can edit".
At the time - it can be silent crickets. There can also be discomfort around putting yourself out there. Get more responses from your participants using a 3-2-1 countdown that asks all to post at the same time.
Once you have perspectives out there, group them or arrange them on a line.
