>> Engaging students in an online setting --
when you're teaching in an online setting,
it can be challenging to engage your students.
Many teachers are rethinking how they capture
their students' attention in this new setting.
The good news is that as a teacher,
you're not starting from scratch.
You've already perfected many strategies in the classroom,
now you just have to adjust them to the online format.
One, students miss their friends.
Be sure you devote time for kids to interact
and talk to one another.
Two, just as you've always done, celebrate good behavior.
Three, create familiar consistency and structure
in your daily schedule.
Make sure students know there's still a structure
to their learning, and you are committed to it.
Four, ask for their feedback, and help them feel accountable.
Remember, we're all in this together.
What can each person do to make
this time productive and special?
Five, you know from experience
that gamifying work engages learners.
Bring the same strategy to your online instruction.
Try polling features for live feedback
on discussion questions,
or get creative with playful breakout sessions.
Focus on having fun in your online meeting space.
