What are they?
This is the opportunity for your community of learners to get to know one another.
When should they been used?
Well to start with, they should be considered when starting with a group of students that are being faciltated.
Why should they be used?
Ice Breakers help virtual learners share themselves with others who can make no other impression of them. It is known that when people have an identity within a group or a connection to a group their interest grows.
What are some effective examples of Ice Breakers that can be used?
Think of using visuals that students can identify with. Think of simple ways that students can express their personality without feeling judged or intimidated.
- post pictures of famous people that they can identify with and ask them to choose their favorite.
- ask them do place themselves on a map based on, where they live, where they would like to travel, etc
- have them identify a favorite activity
- have it relate to the topic that you are teaching (choosing a favorite character from a novel)
