2.Challenges of interactive teaching and learning
Although interactive classrooms overwhelmingly benefit students and teachers alike by creating a more cohesive, collaborative environment that empowers students, there are some challenges that come with this learning model.
Here are some of the challenges that come with transition:
Technical Difficulties
A number of interactive teaching techniques utilize technologies like interactive whiteboards, social media backchannels, and other virtual solutions. 
While these solutions can be vastly helpful in increasing the possibilities for students in the classroom, they may have a steep learning curve if you’re new to this type of technology.³
However, technical difficulties don’t need to be an impediment to your interactive classroom. Many virtual tools have video tutorials, virtual assistants, and other aids that can help you overcome bumps in the road.
Or you can go a lower tech route and still create a perfectly successful interactive learning model in your classroom!
Increased Workload
When you first make the switch to an interactive classroom, you may find yourself with an increased workload as you figure out which methods make most sense to implement in the classroom and how to best use them to the advantage of your students.Designing a new syllabus and curriculum, getting acquainted with new technologies, and getting students accustomed to interactive learning while keeping up the pace of their current education all take time.However, you can alleviate the stress of transitioning to interactive learning by gradually introducing new learning strategies instead of attempting to overhaul your classroom all in one day.
Resistance to Change
Some students may not want to switch over to an interactive learning model and may mock or resist new techniques or technologies rather than embracing them.
This can be compounded when they are expected to participate more in interactive learning methods and students are used to being more passive classroom participants.
You can help students adjust to an interactive learning model by giving them agency in choosing the activities they do and making the activities more fun. Introducing new technologies may also excite students and make them more enthusiastic about proposed classroom changes.
Interactive Teaching Aids, Apps, and Tools
There are a number of online resources and apps that can help you incorporate interactive learning into your classroom and expand the possibilities for your classroom. A tablet helps you to use many apps and still be mobile.
You can find a few great resources below, but these are just a small sampling of the range of interactive learning tools available online.
Dotstorming
This innovative application combines the functionality of interactive whiteboards with a number of other useful capabilities.
It has a collage function that allows students to draw individually or collaboratively as well as voting polls that can expedite class decisions and give students a greater voice.
Pixton
This neat tool allows students to create collaborative comics!
This is a great way for students to integrate the new vocabulary and grammar they’ve learned in class and practice their English skills while having fun.
They’ll love creating funny, kooky comics with their friends – and best of all, they’ll be learning while they’re at it.⁴
Nearpod
This innovative teaching tool lets you import existing content like YouTube videos, presentations, and more and make your whole lesson interactive.
You can add quizzes, polls, virtual reality simulations, and other fun interactive pieces into your lessons seamlessly, giving your students more opportunity to engage with the lesson – and yourself more opportunity to check in on your students’ progress.
Socrative
This classroom app has a number of functionalities. It lets you ask students quick questions for instant feedback, create quick quizzes and exit tickets, split students into virtual rooms, and more.
You can use this app as a resource for virtual learning or as a backchannel in a physical classroom.
Synth
This tool is particularly good for ESL learning environments because it allows teachers and students to send voice messages.
You can send voice messages to students that they need to listen to in order to practice listening comprehension, and they can send messages to you to work on their pronunciation and speaking skills.
You can incorporate this as homework or in a number of other ways to supplement students’ learning.

And More…

Interactive learning may look different to every teacher – and every student. Especially, when you are teaching in front of multicultural students. Then you might have to adapt some strategies to teach culturally responsive.
Use these tools in your ESL class to create more opportunities for students to learn, practice, and engage.⁵
And don’t sweat the small stuff too much. As long as students are active participants in class, they’re getting what they need to out of it. 
You don’t need to use 100 different apps and strategies to create a successful interactive classroom. 
Just find the techniques you love and run with them – your students will thank you for it.
