Re: online fishbowl?


 

Hello Michelle,

For folks unfamiliar with fishbowl, here's a on the Liberating Structures community of practice.? In essence, most people are watching a few people converse.? Audience members take turns going into the center to speak for a few turns of the conversation and then step back out to the observer area again.

I'd recommend that the best way to do it is with a Zoom webinar account ($40/month) because you can promote people to panelist when they're "in the fishbowl".? Everyone else will have access to write in the chat and will be in listen-only mode.

Or if you wanted to try it with a Zoom meeting ($14.99/month) and not a webinar, you could have people raise their hands to indicate that they'd like to go into the fishbowl and then they would wait for a private chat message from the facilitator indicating that they are in and can begin speaking.

Hi all,

I¡¯m facilitating and online academic workshop with 10 participants and I¡¯d like to try a small fishbowl exercise to discuss issues around Covid-19. I was wondering if any of you knew of links talking about how others have done this online? We are using zoom. Really appreciate any tips.

Best,
