How do I manage whole-class discussions virtually?

Creating a classroom where all students are participating in the in-class discussion is hard. And when you put masks on those same kids or set them in front of webcams, the conversation is quickly stifled. Although many students might enjoy “hiding” during these discussions, teachers are desperate to hear from them.

When identifying techniques to increase student participation in whole-class conversations, look for those that work in both the traditional and virtual classroom. With students and teachers frequently transitioning between the two, a single consistent strategy is best.
