Hey there, equity workshop host! You know, when you're hosting a live session, especially one as important as an Interactive Equity Workshop, keeping your audience engaged can truly make or break the impact of your session. If people are dozing off or getting distracted, your hard work might not hit them where it matters. So, let's find ways to grab their attention, keep them interacting, and boost their learning retention during our Zoom calls. Sounds good, right?

Journey Across the Globe with Magic Maps

Ever wonder where your awesome participants are joining from? Magic Maps lets you bring the world into your Zoom Equity Workshop! Start by asking, 'Where are you joining us from today?' or 'Which city holds a special memory for your first diversity experience?' As they type their answers, watch their locations pop up on the map. It's like a virtual travel map across equity discussions! Not only does this spark general curiosity, but it also initiates conversations about regional differences in diversity perspectives. Plus, it's a great icebreaker to start things off!

Capture Insights with Open Ended Polls

Got topics that require a bit more depth? Try Open-Ended Polls! These are perfect for capturing individual thoughts. Ask, 'What are your personal barriers to equity?' or 'Share one experience that shaped your view on diversity.' Participants type their responses directly into the chat and you'll see a broad spectrum of perspectives filling your screen. It's not just polling; it's like reading the room, capturing everyone's nuanced views, and making the session more interactive and personal.

Dive Deep with Power Polls

Want insights in real-time? Power Polls are your go-to! You can gather immediate feedback on sensitive topics or assess understanding on workshop content. For instance, 'How do you perceive diversity progress in your workplace?' or 'Prioritize the biggest equity challenges today.' Participants can select options and see how their peers are thinking. This instant feedback helps you tweak the session flow or address immediate concerns—making participants feel heard and making your workshop all the more relevant.

Get the Energy Up with the Winner Wheel

Alright, so some of your participants might be shy or hiding in the back of the virtual room. No worries, the Winner Wheel is here to help loosen them up! Announce that you'll be picking random winners who actively chat. It could be for sharing their thoughts about 'What inclusion means to them' or for asking questions during Q&A. You can also award winners with digital gifts or special recognition—anything to make them feel involved and valued. It’s not only exciting but really energizes the room as everyone waits to see who luck favors next.

Create a Visual Story with Wonder Words

Sometimes, visuals say it all. Wonder Words helps you visualize your chat discussions in a word cloud! Throw a question out there, like, 'What's one word that describes diversity to you?' or 'Identify one challenge in achieving equity.' As answers roll in, watch the popular words grow larger. This creates a collective image of your session's focal points, sparking further discussions as everyone sees the common themes or surprising outliers blaring out visually. It's a fantastic way to summarize big talks in just one glance!
