Learning Takes Flight: Experience Active Learning Together

In this session, Anita Chawla and Katy Jacobson guide K–12 educators through a collaborative travel planning challenge using Engageli's tables. Working in small groups, participants build a dream itinerary that balances a shared budget with different traveler preferences. They'll demonstrate how polls bring learners together around shared interests, how a rubric keeps discussions focused, and how facilitators support teams as they work. You'll also explore how teacher and student talk time, alongside notes, chat, and reactions, can help you understand classroom participation and reflect on your own approach to active learning.

Why the series exists

Online classes drift toward lecture — not because teachers want them to, but because time, coverage, and thin visibility make anything else feel risky. EngageLIVE shows the version that holds up during a real class period.

What to expect

Live prompts and polls, short small-group activities, instruction from the student's seat, and a look at the engagement data behind it.

Where it runs

Inside the Engageli classroom, so the tools you're hearing about are the ones you're using while you hear about them.

Who it's for

Teachers who teach online, instructional designers and coaches, and academic leaders on the hook for engagement. K-12 and higher ed both.
