404: “Turn Your Camera On!?” How to Help Students Participate Better in Class
Students are hesitant to turn their videos on in zoom classes. What other ways are there to participate effectively in virtual (and in person) classes? Gretchen shares some wisdom from a recent teacher PD she taught. Specifically, she and Megan discuss: * the relationship between participation and engagement and motivation,* why turning the camera on in a virtual class is not the best sign of engagement* a unique “Participation Bingo” game that she came up with to teach teachers how to help students participate* and some specific examples of things students and teachers can do to break participation skills down into bite size parts.
