  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 has proved to be a difficult situation this year and more so for middle or high school. I also am in a elementary school internship but my class is thankfully all online and we also require their cameras to be on and if they aren't they get a note or phone call home. I really don't understand why it is not required for every grade to have their cameras on, I mean if we were in person there was never any exception for not going to class or having our hoodie over our heads the entire day. I hope that in the next coming semester or school year this can all be fixed and we can find a better solution.

Comments: Some students do not have a functioning camera or microphone and have just had to get a computer due to COVID. A punishment does not seem helpful.
