Lol, I teach a lot about fairy tales and fantasy literature in my children’s literature courses, so I couldn’t resist adding that book to my background bookshelf.
AT least i got my internet Signal, this time - but then again I don't usually have this laptop near the table. lol so maybe the electrical is in this wall, or something? who knows something changes over here - but it's cool review & will have to re-review. because icebreakers are a good idea. There are always lots of ways to approach a situation & it's all in how we choose. We can only hope we make the right choices, as I think things can go a little more smoothly this way. But we know we say stupid things and make bad choices, too.. lol That's just being human....
Thanks for the great points icebreakers for online classes. I use the first one for all of my classes as a a discussion post but the music one was new to me! Thanks for sharing.
I happened to make a video yesterday & it is very hard. I'm coming back to tell you that you did great and please keep at it!! You have valuable information to share...
Congrats on making the video!! It gets easier with practice. And thank you so much for taking the time to write such positive feedback. Your encouraging words are so appreciated.
@@EverEducating I made the video for some volunteer work I am doing :) I am here learning from you for something else. I will watch another one of your videos later this evening or tomorrow and try to comment. Good luck to you!
I’d say the class bingo is the only fully interpersonal/interactive one, since it can’t really be done well with a board. The others can definitely use a board (sharing the music or memes that way, for example), but can also be more interactive. For example, screen sharing the memes or music and discussing them together. The format for most of these will really depend heavily on how synchronous the class is (or is not).
Some nice ideas here thanks, can i just give u one small advice, can you try to speak more clearly when you explain things, i notice you mumble a lot and dont pronounce words properly.
I’m glad you liked the ideas! And, yeah, I’m still working on my video presence. The camera nerves can definitely get me talking so fast that words get jumbled! That’s why I try to manually edit the CC of as many videos as I can. But more clarity is something I’ll keep working on improving. This video has the CC edits, in case you need clarification on any of the ideas!
@@EverEducating You did well at taking James' feedback! The content is fantastic but it was a bit challenging to understand here and there. I hope you continue to make these videos because you have great information to share...
Hi Erika! Great content! These are great ideas. The intro forum is simple, but a lot of instructors overlook it. The students love it!
Thanks! And I completely agree. I haven't taught any course without an intro forum activity. It's a key element when starting the semester.
The only Ice Breaker I Know is the national anthem which we all rise for to start the day (this was practiced at school)
The soundtrack idea is awesome. Thanks for sharing!!
Happy to share! Thanks for watching.
I have just seen a good video that you share thanks and wish you good health, I support you
Thank you!
Very helpful Erika. Thank you for taking the time to do this video!!
I’m so glad you found it helpful!!

Awesome. Thanks you for sharing. New friend here.

Great ideas, thanks so much, love the bingo!
Glad you like them! And yes, bingo is so fun with students!
I love the bingo idea too that was new to me! I typically do a Jeopardy game with them but this would be an additional fun game.
Yes, I’ve played jeopardy for exam review. Another great game, though takes more time to create!
@@EverEducating so true! time consuming indeed but the great part is that once you make them for exams you can just reuse them every semester.
Thanks for the great points icebreakers for online classes. I use the first one for all of my classes as a a discussion post but the music one was new to me! Thanks for sharing.
Glad you found them helpful!!
I love these suggestions! Bingo is my favorite but the playlist is running a very close second. Thanks for sharing!
I’m glad you love them!! I love bingo, but the playlist is definitely a lot easier to use if you don’t have enough time to design the bingo game.

great tips! Can you supply the name of the meme making site?
Thanks! I use Canva to make my graphics (including memes). I've linked to it in the description.
I looooove Canva for this type of graphics! It's free for the students and most of them use it already.
Thanks lady!
You're welcome!!
Great Tips
Thanks!!
@@EverEducating Welcome
These are more like discussion board ice breakers than interpersonal/interactive ice breakers.
I’d say the class bingo is the only fully interpersonal/interactive one, since it can’t really be done well with a board. The others can definitely use a board (sharing the music or memes that way, for example), but can also be more interactive. For example, screen sharing the memes or music and discussing them together. The format for most of these will really depend heavily on how synchronous the class is (or is not).
Great activities--thanks! :)
