मैं इसे कैसे इस्तेमाल करूं?
If students use the mood meter during the school day to track their mood, you can use it as a diagnostic tool when you enter to see where the group is at. Is everyone tired? If so, maybe you need to alter your warm-up to include something that will wake everyone up. Is there a student who is sad? Take a moment to check in with the student or their Classroom Professionals.
In the arts, we often talk about emotions; use the mood meter as a tool for this exploration. It can help create empathy for our ensemble members as well as the characters we might play.
