Classroom management strategies

Since a major component of using ImmerseMe is speaking practise (there is also writing available) then we advise a number of classroom management techniques to getting the most from ImmerseMe:

  • Spread your students around the classroom (or corridor/outside) so that they aren't sitting too close to another student and being picked up by their microphone.
  • If you have limited space then number students 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2 etc and get 1s to use a speaking mode whilst 2s are using a writing mode.
  • If students have access to an external microphone source like a headphone with built-in microphone (that come with most mobile devices) or bluetooth microphone like AirPods then these will generally be able to understand the student a lot more clearly than the microphone built-in to laptops. Some desktops don't have a built-in microphone at all so will require an external microphone source.
