How Pencil Spaces solves it
Thirty minutes in, Talk-Time Alerts give the tutor a private nudge: she has done most of the talking. She asks each student to post an answer on a sticky note. The quietest student writes the best one, and she asks him to explain it.
- Talk-Time AlertsAvailableTalk-Time Alerts give the host a private nudge after 30 minutes, based on their share of talk time, while there’s still time to adjust.
- Raise HandAvailableRaise Hand lets students raise a hand without interrupting, and you answer them in the order hands went up.
- Sticky NotesAvailableSticky notes carry each author’s name automatically, so you know exactly who said what.
- Gallery SortingAvailableGallery Sorting puts whoever spoke last at the front, so the conversation stays in view.
