  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 is a huge issue for me too! I have students that just DO NOT want to participate and it's hard for me because I want to make sure they are understanding the issues were working on. I have no idea if they are struggling until I get to their graded work and I want to always make sure my students understand the work before they get to the work so that they are able to succeed. I have decided to set up a point system for participation in both online and in-person students. Points add up to rewards like a homework pass, pop quiz pass, extra credit points for an assignment, quiz, or tests. They can choose to hold onto their points longer for the higher rewards like quiz pass. Participation has gone up dramatically and lots of homework passes have been given out.
