  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 think one way you and the teacher can get their attention and to participate is by hosting live NearPod lessons with activities such as draw it boards in real-time or pins its tools or even time to climb games and activities that you can track online their progress and activity and submissions. This was a great tool for me to use during my first internship as I was teaching in-person and virtually. The kids loved the Nearpods and they were in first grade and they always participated. It helps that Nearpod can be accessed in the car or at home or even at a center. They just need the device and wifi and they can complete the lesson. Try this!
