  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!)
I would share with students your concerns about their participation, as well as expectations for online learning. I would then share with students and parents that failure to participate and engage in the lessons could effect participation points, as well. Lastly, students might feel uncomfortable participating orally for a number of reasons, so I would also provide multiple means of participation such as discussion boards, chat rooms, Kahoot!, etc.

Comments: Students should not be negatively pressured to answer virtually. In this new format, it is increasingly awkward and isolated. There should be positive encouragements.
