Miro for Educators: Tales, Tips & Tricks from Academia!
84 RSVP'ed
About this event
Getting classroom participation has always been a tricky challenge for many educators. To add another layer of complexity, classrooms today have gone digital and online with the pandemic. Yet, students' participation is a critical aspect in creating an experiential and deep learning environment. How have educational professionals and administrators all over risen to the challenge? Also, what are students thinking about all this?
In our next VMUG, we will explore the role and use of virtual collaboration platforms in the classroom, and the impact they have on students' learning experience. We will learn how educational professionals and students have adapted and evolved with the virtual classroom in the last year, and how educational administrators have helped teachers and lecturers ease into and thrive in these virtual classroom environments.
You will meet and learn from your peers and these experienced educators:
Boyan Radnev, Intercultural Management undergraduate, Carinthia University of Applied Sciences, Austria
Dr. Maylyn Tan, Head of Academic Development, SIM Global, Singapore
Raymond Thomas, Director and Co-founder, Enible, Singapore
Timothy Nguyen, Career Coach & Learning Facilitator, University of New South Wales (UNSW), Australia
During this 90-min session, you'll get a chance to:
Learn from the real world examples and experiences of educational professionals and students using Miro
Ask questions on best practice use of Miro or other visual collaborative platforms for classroom engagement and interaction

I am currently working at UNSW as a Career Coach, providing career development support to students and collaborating with faculties to design and incorporate career education into the degrees.During this "everything done at home" season, I have been constantly learning and practising new ways of engaging and working with colleagues, students and faculties through Miro Virtual Collaboration Board, H5P, Teams, Zoom and Blackboard Collaborate.

Boyan Radnev
Carinthia University of Applied Sciences
The quote “Strength lies in differences, not in similarities” manages to perfectly summarize how I observe cultures. My name is Boyan Radnev and as an undergraduate student in Intercultural Management and International Project Coordinator in SIETAR Austria I have worked within many intercultural teams and I have enjoyed every second of it. With the recent shift to digital technologies for the purposes of education and work the Miro platform has managed to completely shift my beliefs regarding the execution of virtual work.
