# To think about

### Engage Remote and On-Site Students
• Provide students with 5-10 minutes of unstructured time at the beginning of class to socialize with one another and connect with you casually
• Create lesson plans that engage on-site students, remote students and all students together
• on-site students to work together and remote students to work together, then mix it up by creating smaller hybrid groups
• stimulation
• screen breaks
• stretching time or independent reading
• Treat all students equally
• tech tools, use them to create interactive lessons

### Hybrid Classroom Community Building
• inclusive language (inclusive of location, home environment, family or caregivers)
• Encourage conversations between students during and after class
• small group projects over time to foster relationships between students,
• Use cloud-based apps and tools like Google Docs for real-time collaboration
• Translate all in-classroom activities to a digital alternative

### Best Hybrid Classroom Setups
• Cameras so that remote students can see all materials on the board (if used) and in the classroom
• Arrange your cameras and classroom furniture so the teacher is visible as they move around (if necessary)
• Incorporate flexible physical classroom space dependent on classroom activities
• Design your classroom with hybrid group activities in mind
• The tech tools will dictate how cameras and computers are set up in your classroom

### Hybrid Classroom Tech Tools
• Asynchronous and synchronous learning tools
• Zoom or Skype
• (Education technology software such as Google Classroom or Apex Learning)
• (A smart video camera such as the Meeting Owl Pro)
• Online textbooks from virtual marketplaces such as Chegg and Cengage
• A Learning Management System (LMS) such as Blackboard or Canvas
