As we move into an era of hybrid presentations, here are some great lessons form a teacher on how to create an inclusive and energising environment for each person in the audience.
We recently had the privilege of witnessing one of them in action. This 7th grade teacher from Bethesda was teaching poetry to a hybrid class. We were immediately struck by his energy. His body was in constant motion, and his eyes seamlessly moved from the screen back to the faces in the room. He also encouraged the kids to move — asking for raised hands or having the remote kids stand up to read. Even more importantly, he assigned small working groups where remote and on-screen kids worked together. Despite being hybrid, the class was one.
