IcebreakersRationaleIcebreaker IDEAS
Icebreakers
Definition:
Ice-breakers refer to those introduction activities during which students can come to know each other and their instructor.
Ice-breakers
Rationale:
Human interaction does not happen naturally in an online environment. Thus, ice-breaker activities foster a sense of community and collaboration among students. They allow for a student to become emotionally connected with school and increases motivation.
Ice-breakers
After completing the ice breaker activity, students will:
• feel more comfortable and begin interacting with other students and the instructor
• feel motivated and less isolated in the online environment
• have a chance to try LMS in a low stress activity
Ice-breakers
Example of ice-breaker ideas:
• Time Capsule
• Two Lies and a Truth
• Miscomm-puter-unication
Ice-breakers
It’s important:
• To keep it simple• Make it fun• Be aware of time constraints• Consider your audience
Consider the technology:
• Discussion Board • Blackboard IM• Collaborate• Voicethread
