Looking for a *virtual* reflection activity for the last day of class? One of my go-to activities: PowerPoint Roulette! Each student "spins" the wheel (it& #39;s a PowerPoint slide) and it lands on a prompt such as "Class takeaway" or "Colleague shoutout." My wheel looked like this...
Spinning action...
Then, after a few moments, I advance to the next slide. The catch? The next slide is completely random! For example, a student landed on "Semester Accomplishment" and this was their random slide

The student reflected on their major semester accomplishment: The pandemic prompted them to learn unfamiliar tech over the past 6 weeks. They were able to lean on others for help, while also supporting others with tech questions.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌟" title="Glowing star" aria-label="Emoji: Glowing star">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💻" title="Personal computer" aria-label="Emoji: Personal computer">
Activity tips:
1.) If you have 15 students, create 20 image slides. Alternate wheel & image slideshttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⬇️" title="Downwards arrow" aria-label="Emoji: Downwards arrow"> If a student gets stumped, that& #39;s okay -- give & #39;em another slide. For those thinking: "bUt tHaT rUiNs tHe GaMe" We& #39;re living in a pandemic: the rule is that there are no rules!

2.) Lead by example: Go first to show students how the activity works. Going first also shows students that the activity isn& #39;t as daunting as it may seem.
3.) Create space at the end of the activity for open reflection sans spinning wheel.
