The 2-hour run
| Time | Step | You do | Bloom's verbs |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 min | Welcome A V | Say the day, date and time in the learner's own time zone. Check sound and screen with one chat word. Say the length, that the recording comes, that notes come after, and when questions are answered. | Recall, Identify |
| 40 min | Show V A | Share your screen. Walk one example from start to end in small steps. Name each step out loud. Pause every 10 minutes for a quick check. | Explain, Demonstrate |
| 40 min | Do together K Au | Learners do the same task on their own screen. Helpers answer in chat. Show one finished example, then ask learners to share a small result. | Apply, Create |
| 10 min | Next steps R | Show the post-read, the follow-up task, key dates and the support route on one slide. Pin the same text in chat. | Summarise, Plan |

Keep the room alive
- Ask a real question in chat, not just "type yes".
- Wait about 15 seconds for a form, then move on.
- Give a short holding line for a long question, then follow up.
- Show it, say it, write it, let them do it.
- Say what is optional. Never press anyone to pay or share in teaching time.
