Your tips on running interactive webinars was very engaging and inspiring, in particular the part about sending props in the mail! I see that with planning and foresight some of the magic, liveliness and deep engagement of face to face group work can be re-constructed playfully for use within this new mode of communication. Thank you once more for the insights you shared. Best, Dear Ms. Young,

I work as an arts-centered facilitator with youth and adults and am explanding into virtual coaching/facilitation of late. Your tips on running interactive webinars was very engaging and inspiring, in particular the part about sending props in the mail! I see that with planning and foresight some of the magic, liveliness and deep engagement of face to face group work can be re-constructed playfully for use within this new mode of communication.

Thank you once more for the insights you shared.

Best,

I deal more with large "one-to-many" webinar presentations rather than collaborative/participatory virtual meetings. Many of the base concepts are the same, and we want to promote audience interactivity as well, but there are some differences in the practicality of what you can do when you have audiences numbering in the hundreds. I did a little riff on your post and took it in the direction of what happens when you can't get the interactivity you might want. You can find it here: http://tinyurl.com/l7e8ym I'm looking forward to your webinar. I think it should be a great opportunity to share ideas!

I certainly agree with you that there are all sorts of video options worth investigating that make a webinar more compelling and engaging. Perhaps the biggest benefit I see is in creating a tight and focused segment that can be seen before and after a real-time webinar, leaving the precious same-time component for more interactive and participant-focused activities. A prepared video piece can be used over and over again with consistent results - so if well done can save a lot of time and reach a wider audience. Regarding Twitter, most of my work has to do with engaging people in interactive discussions and collaborative discovery so most of the tools I use are for focused many-to-many conversations rather than ad hoc one-to-many sound bites. Of course as I write this I am aware that all of these tools offer wonderful ways to explore new possibilities for communicating and collaborating. Twitter as an easy, effective and inexpensive way to engage with a certain group for a certain period of time offers intriguing possibilities – until it becomes background noise again. - Julia Doug – Thanks for your comment.

Do all that you say, but make it live TV on their computer.
