Getting to know your students
Collaborative Presentation
Generate a collaborative photo album to which students submit photos of themselves.
Make a copy of this presentation
Change the title to represent your class
Assign each student a page number and ask them to change the name, photograph, and data with their personal information. The photographs can be inserted by right-clicking on the existing photo and replacing the URL with the URL of their photos in the collaborative photo album.
Ask students to find another student with similar hobbies or interests and introduce themselves.
Each pair of students will then stand and introduce each other when their personal slides are displayed on the class screen.
Construct a student survey
Build your own survey
Review the questions generated by your colleagues.
Select questions you think are the most appropriate and generate a collaborative electronic questionnaire with the help of your colleagues. Try to create multiple choice, choose from a list, grid, scale, and checkbox questions as they provide an opportunity for instant analysis.
Once the collaborative survey is created, make a copy of the survey and then adapt it to your needs by adding, deleting and editing questions
