Ways to Do Introductions in the Chat Room
Everyone in a class wants and needs to be known. Introductions are one way to help students get to know each other.

1. Always share something about yourself.
2. Participants give their name and a word to describe themselves, making an alliteration. e.g. Super Sally.
3. Participants introduce someone else giving their name and something unique about that person.
4. Participants give one-two word descriptions of what they expect from the class.
5. Participants give one word explaining how they feel about the content or process or how they want to be remembered.
6. You can increase the level of engagement for #4 and #5 by asking the participants to give the word in alphabetical order - fast! e.g. ambivalent, bogged-down, confused, dangerous, etc. And sometimes start at different places in the alphabet.
