Hey there, Google Meet hosts! You know how important it is to keep your audience engaged during live sessions, right? When you are hosting a session on something as vital as Inclusive Communication Training, having your participants actively involved is key. It not only makes your training impactful but also ensures that people actually understand and retain the information you're sharing. It's all about making sure your audience is not just passive listeners but active participants.
Using Magic Maps to Kickstart Engagement
Let's talk about breaking the ice with Magic Maps. We always start our live sessions with the classic 'Where are you joining us from?' With Magic Maps, you can turn this question into a real-time interactive map experience. Imagine asking attendees to share where they are from or perhaps their dream destination after all the hard training. This visual representation not only makes people feel connected but also gets them chatting and ready to participate more deeply throughout the session. Plus, it’s a cool way to see where your inclusivity message is spreading around the world!

Capture Valuable Insights with Opinion Polls
Opinion Polls let you dive deeper into your audience's thoughts and opinions. Unlike the Power Polls, this is more open to varied answers. Ask a question like, 'In one word, how do you feel about inclusivity in your workplace?' The responses can provide a window into their mindset and help you adjust the session accordingly, making sure everyone leaves with a better understanding of inclusive communication.
Get Instant Feedback with Power Polls
Power Polls are an awesome way to get real-time feedback from your participants. Use it to gauge understanding or preferences on specific topics. For an Inclusive Communication Training session, you might ask ‘How confident are you in using gender-neutral language?’. Participants can respond quickly, giving you instant insights into their confidence levels or areas where they need more clarity. This not only makes the session interactive but helps you tailor your content to their needs.

Turning Comments Into Engagement with Winner Wheel
Encouraging your participants to contribute can sometimes be challenging, but that's where the Winner Wheel comes in handy. This feature can reward those who are actively commenting during your session. You can set it to randomly select a winner from the comment section. It’s a fun and exciting way to keep energy levels high while also encouraging more people to voice their thoughts. For instance, during an Inclusive Communication Training, you could use it to select a 'commentator of the hour' just for sharing their thoughts about inclusive language practices.

Visualize Thoughts with Wonder Words
Wonder Words turn your audience's single-word responses into a dynamic word cloud. This is particularly useful when discussing complex topics like inclusive communication. Ask them to share a word that represents inclusivity to them or a language they think often lacks inclusive terms. As words appear larger based on frequency, it offers a visual cue of the group’s sentiments and understanding. It’s engaging, easy to set up, and visibly shows the collective brain of your session! Plus, it’s a great way to start or conclude with a powerful visual summary.

Decide with Ease Using Choice Circle
Power Polls are an awesome way to get real-time feedback from your participants. Use it to gauge understanding or preferences on specific topics. For an Inclusive Communication Training session, you might ask ‘How confident are you in using gender-neutral language?’. Participants can respond quickly, giving you instant insights into their confidence levels or areas where they need more clarity. This not only makes the session interactive but helps you tailor your content to their needs.
