 [15:14, 17/11/2021] Jyoti Swaroop: h! Thanks for jogging my data base! CCQ and ICQ, here I come!!

[15:18, 17/11/2021] Jyoti Swaroop: It would be great if everyone puts out one tool or idea that you use/used.  I'm sure like Leslie's and Padma 's input, we can adapt it to our context. These work in our everyday interactions as well. Please come forward with your ideas. Let's all benefit from it.

[15:20, 17/11/2021] Les D'Gama: I have captured all the discussion from the beginning till 2:45 p.m. and published it in the raw on a blog.  We can keep adding datewise to the blog or even some special inputs.

Here's the link

[15:29, 17/11/2021] Padma Chandrasekhar: You bet! I realised that communication actually gets more  effective with these.

[15:33, 17/11/2021] Padma: I have created polls on the spot and used them, apart form the ideas shared. Loved all the ideas shared by Jyo and PC today. And I learnt about ICQ and CCQ

[15:52, 17/11/2021] Jyoti Swaroop: Tell me a little more about how polls work, @Padma . Since my programs are through publishers or schools, I leave the handling of tech and material to them. I'm not very tech savvy and don't feel the need to be as the host provider the platform. I just give them the questions and I am given the response

[16:30, 17/11/2021] Padma: I was doing a session on values... Wanted to involve all students and  understand their view on  importance of a value in their lives. So we reached a consensus of 5 core values and I put them up as a Google form (likert scale) and asked them to rate on a scale of 1 to 5. Results are instantaneous and can be protected by the graphs thrown up by Google form responses and a new short discussion followed.

[16:31, 17/11/2021] Padma: Once I asked them to let me know if we should have a class the next day or not

[16:32, 17/11/2021] Padma: They are quick to create and administer and findings can also been shown immediately... You can also catch those who have not filled in!

[17:37, 17/11/2021] Les D'Gama: Would you people like me to share some WhatsApp Hints and Guidelines as used by other WA groups?  Purely my findings and used in my social media inputs. Might help to make WA information more user-friendly. 

If so, please use the "Reply Privately" option to say YES or NO. Depending on the "poll" I will post. 😀
