How to make your Zoom class more interesting

Last year was the year of changes, a dramatic change. Everything moved from in-person to virtual. Schools are the first place that has shifted to the online environment. It was a sudden and big change for teachers and students. The problem faced by teachers is to develop the interest and focus of students in this online learning. Because of this, we need new strategies and techniques to develop the interest of students in a lesson. Most of the classes held on Zoom; there are some strategies that can make Zoom classes more interesting.

Share your screen:

According to MRHooker, it is a basic, but the most important thing in online classes. It makes the environment more class-like and disciplined. There are few things to take care of while sharing the screen.

•Check searches on your slide

•Number of Tabs

•There should not be something that you would be embarrassed while sharing the screen with your student.

Whiteboard:

It is an interesting feature on Zoom that engages students. On the whiteboard, you can write anything, from notes to drawing. For making lectures more interesting, you can allow students to write on the whiteboard; it will also increase their interactions in lectures.

Virtual background:

Virtual background is an eye-catching feature, MRhooker says it allows users to use virtual background from pattern to solid background. So, basically with these virtual backgrounds, you can play interesting games with students, by asking them to explain each other background or your background.

More games :

You can play several games with students to make your lesson more interesting, like playing Bingo in lessons to remove boredom, asking random students to explain something from the lecture. You can ask students to tell something interesting which they have noticed in recent days.

Pop quizzes:

Live quiz in lectures will allow you to know whether your students are able to understand your lecture or not. It also gives students a reason to be more focused and attentive in the class.
