Group work online often turns into one person typing while everyone else watches. The Online Gallery Walk changes that.

It is a five-step structure where every group posts their thinking, visits the work of others, and returns to find feedback waiting on their own, all inside a simple set of Padlet columns and breakout rooms.

This week on eb|tips, we are walking through each step, including the one instruction that makes the whole activity work: post before you look.

Save this one for your next online session, and share it with a colleague who teaches virtually.

The full guide, the research behind the structure, an adaptation for larger classes, and resources for going further, is in the eb|Community, open to educators all summer. The link is in our bio.

Which of the five steps do you find hardest to hold in an online classroom?

Here is what has been in our camera roll this season.

Strategic planning sessions. New projects taking shape. Calls that turned into real, useful conversations. A few afternoons of beating the heat and taking it slow.

This is what our summer has actually looked like so far. What is in yours?

Preparing for the next academic year does not have to begin with a long list of tasks.

It can begin with a thoughtful review.
What support do educators need?
What professional development would be useful?
What systems need strengthening?
What evidence should guide planning?
What voices should be included before decisions are made?

A readiness checklist is not about pressure.
It is about clarity.

At edubridges, we work with institutions to identify needs, understand priorities, and prepare meaningful next steps for sustainable growth.

What would you add to this checklist?

Induction is not just a welcome session. It is where confidence begins, professional identity takes shape, and educators feel supported as they step into their roles.

In her blog, “Why Induction is More Than Just a Welcome Session,” Ms. Nadine Hasan Haidar highlights how meaningful induction can strengthen teacher self-efficacy through mastery experiences, peer learning, encouragement, and positive emotional support.

When schools invest in structured induction, they are not only supporting new educators. They are building stronger learning communities where teachers and students can thrive.
