>> Engaging students
in an online setting --

00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:06.630
when you're teaching
in an online setting,

00:00:06.630 --> 00:00:08.929
it can be challenging
to engage your students.

00:00:09.510 --> 00:00:11.720
Many teachers are rethinking
how they capture

00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:14.480
their students' attention
in this new setting.

00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:16.530
The good news is
that as a teacher,

00:00:16.530 --> 00:00:18.179
you're not starting
from scratch.

00:00:18.720 --> 00:00:21.930
You've already perfected many
strategies in the classroom,

00:00:21.930 --> 00:00:24.750
now you just have to adjust them
to the online format.

00:00:25.670 --> 00:00:28.140
One, students miss
their friends.

00:00:28.140 --> 00:00:30.480
Be sure you devote time
for kids to interact

00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:32.180
and talk to one another.

00:00:32.180 --> 00:00:36.010
Two, just as you've always done,
celebrate good behavior.

00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:40.040
Three, create familiar
consistency and structure

00:00:40.040 --> 00:00:41.590
in your daily schedule.

00:00:41.590 --> 00:00:43.760
Make sure students know
there's still a structure

00:00:43.760 --> 00:00:46.109
to their learning,
and you are committed to it.

00:00:46.910 --> 00:00:50.500
Four, ask for their feedback,
and help them feel accountable.

00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:53.050
Remember, we're all
in this together.

00:00:53.570 --> 00:00:55.120
What can each person do to make

00:00:55.120 --> 00:00:56.970
this time productive
and special?

00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:00.830
Five, you know
from experience

00:01:00.830 --> 00:01:03.410
that gamifying work
engages learners.

00:01:03.410 --> 00:01:05.959
Bring the same strategy
to your online instruction.

00:01:06.700 --> 00:01:08.660
Try polling features
for live feedback

00:01:08.660 --> 00:01:10.450
on discussion questions,

00:01:10.450 --> 00:01:12.960
or get creative
with playful breakout sessions.

00:01:13.470 --> 00:01:16.340
Focus on having fun
in your online meeting space.
