Hey there, live session host! We all know how crucial audience engagement is in setting the tone of your live sessions. When attendees are engaged, they’re more likely to absorb the information and take part in discussions. For LGBTQ+ Inclusion Training Sessions, this is a big win because your goal is to create a supportive and interactive learning environment. And let's admit it, having an audience that's dialed-in makes the whole experience better for everyone.
Mapping Connections with Magic Maps
Let's dive into how Magic Maps can jazz up your session. When you start off by asking 'Where in the world are you joining us from today?' and see those locations pop up on a world map, it’s like magic happening in real-time right on your MS Teams screen. People love seeing their city or country get mentioned, and it instantly creates a sense of community. You can also use Magic Maps to ask participants about dream destinations they’d love to visit or where they'd feel most understood in the context of LGBTQ+ communities. This simple interaction not only gets everyone chatting but also increases their attention and willingness to participate.
Open the Floor with Opinion Polls
Sometimes, open-ended questions can bring out the most honest and insightful feedback. Use Open-Ended Polls to ask for your audience's personal take on issues like gender identity or how inclusive they consider their local community to be. These polls collect responses in real time, and you can even display a word cloud based on common themes that emerge. It's a gateway for deeper conversation and understanding among your attendees.
Capture Real-Time Opinions with Power Polls
Polls have always been a great way to understand your audience better, and with StreamAlive’s Power Polls, you can do it instantaneously. Want to dive into a discussion about preferred pronouns? Ask your audience what their understanding level is on certain LGBTQ+ terminologies. This isn’t just a fun interaction but a way to tailor your presentation in real time based on what your attendees are telling you. And trust me, they’ll appreciate a session that adapts to their needs.
Spice Things Up with the Winner Wheel
Now, the Winner Wheel is fantastic for driving interaction. You know how some people stay quiet during sessions? This is your chance to bring them into the mix. Use the Winner Wheel to randomly select one participant who’s actively engaging in the chat. How about giving a quick shout-out or maybe even a little prize for those who pitch in during discussions on sensitive topics or share personal stories? It could be a fun way to lighten up conversations while still keeping it deeply impactful.
Visualize Thoughts with Wonder Words
Wonder Words can be your session’s secret weapon in sparking impactful and visual conversations. When you pose questions like 'What’s one word that comes to mind with the word 'Pride'?' or 'Name a personal LGBTQ+ icon,' you’ll see the word cloud grow with popular responses. This visual representation of your audience’s thoughts fosters a sense of camaraderie and shows that every voice matters. Plus, it’s super easy to set up right in your MS Teams chat, making it one of those crowd-pleasers you’ll want to use over and over.
