I\u2019m surprised at how engaged students are when I visit the small groups, and you can use this space to have thoughtful conversations or to work on shared projects.<\/li>\n<li>Combine the use of small groups with collaborative tools like Google Docs or <a href=\"https:\/\/nearpod.com\/\">Nearpod<\/a> to have students work on a project in their small group time.\u00a0 Then they can easily share their results with the whole class when you come back together<\/li>\n<li>Record your synchronous sessions and make them available to students after the class.\u00a0 This can benefit students who have other obligations that don\u2019t allow them to attend or participate, as well as those students who just want to review what you covered that day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"623\">\n<h1>Resources<\/h1>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.msudenver.edu\/socialwork\/corona-virus-moving-online\/cyber-security\/\">Security Tips for Zoom:<\/a> <\/strong>This great article on our Social Work website provides some tips about how to make good security choices while using Zoom.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Teaching Online Brown Bags: <\/strong>Come join the CTLD for an informal session to talk with other faculty about how teaching is going.
