With the overwhelming necessity to engage students virtually, the use of icebreakers have become an important tool to get and keep students engaged. These interactive activities are not only fun but if utilized with intention, can be a valuable opportunity to promote inclusivity in your classroom, actively engage students, and honor their input to shape their learning environment.
