Marsha discusses the differences between warm-up exercises and icebreakers. She further explains the importance of starting your virtual sessions with a warm-up activity before conducting an icebreaker. In our courses the producer runs that warm-up while participants log in, checking audio as they arrive, a job outlined under the producer role in virtual training.
Check out The Virtual Trainer workshop to learn how to apply effective speaking skills to engage your learners, how to “read” learners in a virtual environment, best practices for co-teaching with a producer, how to calmly handle unexpected issues in the virtual classroom, and so much more!
