When students are working in breakout rooms, they are working in completely different rooms. You are not able to share content with the students unless you go into the breakout room and then share content with them. However you can set things up so that students are already prepared before they move into the breakout rooms. So you need to make sure that students already have open any content you want them to work on in the breakout rooms.

The other important thing to understand is how the IWB works. When students are in breakout rooms, they are using a completely different IWB to the IWB that you find in the main room. So they must have anything they want to share to the teacher in the main room. In this video I clearly show you how IWBs and breakout rooms work. It is important to train the students to save what they have created in their IWBs and then learn to open it again when they are in the main room.

Another great trick is with the webcams. If all the students turn off their webcams and you also turn off your webcam, then when you go into the breakout rooms to see what the students are doing, you will actually be incognito and this can be very useful. The students will not realize that you are in the breakout rooms listening to the students . This is a technique I use a lot when I am working in the breakout rooms so that I can observe what is happening in the lessons but I don’t want the students to know that I am listening.

This video will really help you to make the most of the breakout rooms and to learn a variety of techniques to really learn to use them effectively. It will make your breakout sessions work much better and help you to make better use of breakout room groups and observing your students. You will also learn more about the way the IWB soft.pet">software works and how useful it can be to teach the students to save what you do in the IWB software.
