However, many of the students stay muted with their cameras off. How can you ensure class participation in this setting? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I interned in a virtual school last semester and because all of the students were online as opposed to some being in a classroom as well, my CT and I always had at least some participation even without having to cold-call. One way I think we achieved this is by expecting students to participate and making that known before each lesson. They were even required to show or submit their work online afterwards for credit. Another way we achieved this is by offering students various means of demonstrating their learning, for example by typing in the chat instead of unmuting their mic and speaking. This is how we got some of the more quiet students to participate. We also involved students in their own learning by having them assess themselves before and after each lesson. Additionally, I found that students enjoyed engaging strategies such as reader's theatre in which each student had their own role. Finally, in addition to making the learning engaging, we also made it relevant by asking questions that prompted students to make connections to themselves and their own experiences and allowing them to share these.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I would recommend this solution Rated On: October 17, 2022 3:15 am Rated By: RamaPy                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: thumbs up Rated On: February 25, 2023 6:47 pm Rated By: buTuDe
