  Case: Managing Students Virtually
I am an intern in an elementary school classroom with students in person and online. The students in the classroom have no problem participating, but the online students rarely do. No matter how the teacher or I ask a question, the online students will not answer (yes/no, cold-calling, etc.). We are not allowed to require them to turn on their camera or microphone either. The teacher has reached out to the parents about it as well but this has not worked. How do you get the students online to participate in the lessons and activities?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This seems to be a problem with a lot of virtual classes. I am interning at a middle school (virtually) this semester and the teachers I work with have been starting grade participation points. Sometimes they will ask all the students to type a letter or word in the chat, and if a student does not do that task, they will loose participation points. Since they have started this, the participation has increased. I am not sure how this will work with elementary students, but middle school students usually do not want their grade to go down. It could be worth a shot!
