Due to the spread of Covid-19, school shutdowns have again become a reality. Teachers are once more having to teach virtually via Google Classroom or Zoom for up to two weeks at a time.

As an educator, how would you keep students engaged and participating in lessons, virtually, without having to call them out by name?

What made them successful or unsuccessful?
