Students should be able to see their teacher during the live online session. In addition to ensuring students maintain their cameras during class, teachers also have access to screen-sharing features, enabling students to observe content presented by teachers in real time.

Since classes are online, is it possible to join other online classes outside a student’s scheduled class?

How do teachers ensure that kids are focused whilst learning?

Educators utilise various methods to maintain student engagement during online video lessons.This includes incorporating interactive learning exercises which prompts students to tackle questions in real time. It is important to note that parental support is essential when students engage in self-directed learning.
