3. Rule 1: Intro to Collaborate Sample • Never expect all attendees at your webinar to already know how to use the interactive tools. • Always make sure that you start each webinar with a slide that shows the collaborate tools and provide an opportunity for brief practice.  • This also allows you to know if you have all the tools turned on too. http://www.spokaneschools.org/Page/21030

Rule 2: Polling Sample • Your webinar attendees will have various instructional and job experiences. • Start your webinar with a poll to learn about their background knowledge. • You can place polling slides between content sections to check for understanding.  This will inform your next steps in the presentation as well. http://www.spokaneschools.org/Page/21030

10. Rule 4: Green Check When Finished Sample • If giving participants time to explore websites, videos, or idea, ask them to give you a green check mark when they have finished and are ready to move on. • The green check mark indicated by participants will allow you to provide the needed time for learner reflection or exploration. • It also allows you as the presenter to move at the pace of the learners, not moving too fast or too slow. http://www.spokaneschools.org/Page/21030

11. Connection to Learning

12. Rule 5: Whiteboard for Idea Sharing • Add a blank slide with a title (or question) that will allow participants to type in their ideas on a topic. See their thinking right on the slide allows for the connection to the learning rather than just having them type in the chat room. • Make sure you demonstrate the tool bar next to their names so they know what to click prior to typing. • You may also want to add the words "Type here" in the location in which you want the interaction.  http://www.spokaneschools.org/Page/21030
