How to use it online?
This tool can be used during online meetings to share the learning of this online exchange. Obviously, you will not be able to take interesting pictures during your meeting. However, you can use others digital materials such as a screenshot of the virtual brainstorming whiteboard that you might have produced or a short video compilation of key moments of the meeting (including inspiring quotes, for example). You can also organise a virtual "family portrait" of the participants wearing funny accessories. This picture can then be used to introduce the participants in your Book of ideas.
Participants of the meeting can be assigned different tasks/roles:
- e-Photograp capturing interesting or funny moments by taking screenshots of the webconference.
- e-Cameraman recording the virtual meeting and producing a short video compilation
- and more... Let's be creative!
