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 was virtual in my internship last semester and I faced this issue with some students. When it comes to the younger classes I think a reward system would be great so that students may get to play games or watch videos during free time. For the older students you may need to explain to them that participation will be part of their grade and lack of participation could lower their overall grade.
