What is Co-browsing – and Why It’s So Helpful for Online Learning?

Co-browsing (collaborative browsing) allows two or more people to explore the same website together in real time. Unlike screen sharing, everyone can interact with the site — click, scroll, and explore — at the same time.

It’s a simple but powerful way to make online lessons more engaging and interactive.

⸻

How is Co-browsing Useful?

Here are just a few ways co-browsing helps during virtual lessons:

1. Play games together
You and your student can visit educational game sites and play at the same time. No more asking, “Can you see my screen?” — you’re both in control and having fun.

2. Solve problems or read together
Whether it’s a reading exercise, a math task, or a grammar quiz, co-browsing allows you to guide your student step by step. It feels more natural — just like working side by side in a real classroom.

3. Explore and learn as a team
Looking up information for a project or practicing a new skill becomes easier when both teacher and student can interact with the same content in real time.

⸻

Try It on HappyDots.live

Co-browsing is built right into our platform. Just open any website inside your HappyDots classroom and explore it together — no extra tools needed.

It’s a great way to connect, learn, and collaborate more effectively online.

How can you turn storytelling into an enjoyable lesson?

People love stories. 🕵️

They listen to stories and love telling stories about themselves. Our task is to turn a story into an interesting lesson so that they would not even notice they are learning.

Your students will be so engaged they will forget about the lesson and emerge themselves into the process.

How to make it even more engaging?

You can create flashcards based on the topic you are discussing. You can customise them with Canva or use some AI tools as flashcards.happydots.live.

Have an engaging lesson!

Planning a lesson takes a lot of time and energy. You have to use many tools, find books, plan visuals.

But what if all of that could be simplified?

Lesson planning doesn’t always have to be manual. Some steps can be automatic — not to replace your ideas, but to support and speed up your workflow. Imagine having suggestions, structures, and visuals ready in seconds, so you can focus more on engaging your students.

At HappyDots.live, we’ve made an AI-powered lesson planner to help you do just that — especially for ESL and creative teaching.
Less time planning. More time teaching. 💡✏️🎨

💡 Putting Your Ideas into Action! 🎬✏️
One of the best ways to make your lessons stick is to bring ideas to life.

✨ When we talk about innovation in teaching or coaching, it’s not just about having creative ideas — it’s about making them happen in your classroom (or virtual room!).

🗣️ Role plays are a powerful way to do this. They turn theory into experience and passive learning into active participation. Whether it’s a dialogue about shopping, planning a trip, or navigating a school day — your students get to practice real-life situations in a safe, fun space.

🎭 Don’t worry — it doesn’t have to be a Shakespeare play! Even short, simple scripts give your learners the chance to build confidence, use new vocabulary, and interact in meaningful ways.

🧠 Tools like HappyDots.live make it even better — whiteboards allow you to see everyone’s actions, follow the flow of conversation, and support visual memory through drawings, icons, and quick notes during oral play. It’s like watching the story unfold in real time!

🚀 Try turning your next lesson into a mini stage. You might be surprised how much your students remember — and enjoy!

Imagine having Zoom and Miro at the same time!
Nowadays, teachers more often tend to choose solutions that make lessons more efficient. Online teaching can be challenging, considering all the tools you have to use simultaneously.
I often come across online whiteboards and see how easy they are to use. The process of explaining is much easier, especially if you are teaching small children. You can circle the image of the word you are teaching. You can ask them to draw a number, move the object.
Moreover, students get so excited when they see they did it correctly, and they could move the object themselves or draw a number, write a word digitally.
Many online streaming platforms are limited in terms of teaching opportunities. If you share the screen, you cannot ask the students to draw the word they heard or play a virtual game.
With HappyDots.live it’s much easier now. The solution combines an online whiteboard for easy drawing and writing. Both teachers and students can draw. You can share the screen, do cobrowsing, i.e., you can play an online game. The students can click on the buttons and still be visible to you online.
An AI lesson planner and flashcards builder will help to create the lesson plan, do exams and regular checks!

Ось так проходять наші уроки в Почали з відео гри. Вчитель бачить учнів та вони бачать вчителя одночасно з онлайн-дошкою. У кожного є можливість написати слово та стирати його. Легко переходимо з практики слів до гри. Під час гри формуємо речення і не переживаємо за помилки! Ділимося екраном та одночасно малюємо по ньому. Ставимо веселі зірочки для заохочення. So much fun with !

Dear fellow teachers,
I’m currently working on developing a new ESL teaching tool tailored to the needs of teachers like you! To make this as helpful as possible, I’d love to hear about the tools and resources you currently use in your online English or foreign language classes. Your insights will play a big role in creating something truly valuable for the teaching community.

If you could take a few minutes to fill out a short survey, I’d really appreciate it. As a thank-you for your time, I’ll send you a curated list of free teaching tools and resources that might add value to your classes!

English for Children from 3 to 18

06/10/2024

Ідея нашої школи почалася з усвідомлення того, що іноземну можна вивчати схожим чином до рідної. Дітки мають змогу вчитися і розмовляти англійською як рідною. Тільки їм у цьому потрібно допомогти. Саме тому бачимо перед собою завдання навчити дошкільнят та дітей шкільного віку таким чином ніби вони вивчали рідну мову: з допомогою повторювань, гри, пісень та вправ. Дітки не сприйматимуть це як складність. Навпаки: під час гри вони спокійні і зосереджені, занурені у процес. Тому ми і розпочали HappyDots після щасливих прикладів у своїй сімʼї: дітки розмовляють вільно у 3-4 роки.
Наші плани розвитку: 1. Додати онлайн-платформу для зручності користування на онлайн-уроках. 2. Додати більше інтерактивних онлайн ігор. 3. Відкрити оффлайн-школу у зручній локації.

Чому ігри? Як вони працюють? Ігри, які ми часто використовуємо на уроках:
- ігри у команді,⚽️
- поєднання карток з фото предметів,
- лабіринти,💥
- настільні ігри🌈

З допомогою гри вчимо дітей формувати речення та закріпити його. 🧠

Методику Монтессорі використовуємо як інструмент для практики: поєднання, повторення фраз, наспівування.
🎶
Результат - дітки вивчають як формувати речення швидко і дійсно розмовляють 😁

Ідеї для вивчення кольорів для найменших учнів: 👌
- співаємо активні пісеньки з кольорами і показуємо відповідний колір 🎶
- стрибаємо на кольорові квадратики і називаємо колір 😺
- ділимо діток на групи та швиденько показуємо ‘something blue, something red’ на різні предмети.
А як ви вивчаєте кольори з дітками?
