Incorporate visual collaboration into your in-person, hybrid, and remote classrooms with Miro

Description
Miro is an online visual collaboration platform that quickly became indispensable for my teaching Zoom classes during the pandemic. Miro an online infinite whiteboard or a big blank art gallery wall for team brainstorming. Your class of 20 or 200 students can join you in the "room" and get to work uploading their work to the wall in the form of text or PDF documents, images, videos, mind-mapping tools, etc. Just like on a whiteboard or wall, whatever the students post up for their work is visible to the class. I use Miro primarily to conduct group critiques of student photography project work. Students upload their photographs and can arrange and sequence them however they like. I can move around the board and see when students are ready to discuss their work. As the professor, I can draw all the students together to join me in looking at one student's work while we discuss it on Zoom. Alternatively, students can work in small groups in different board sections. The platform has increased the sense of community in my remote classes, and the peer pressure of collaboration has increased the energy level during my three-hour courses. If all students can access a laptop or tablet during class, Miro works equally well for in-person teaching.
