Hi Sydney!
During this time I agree that it is very difficult to get the students engaged druing a lesson through a computer, but not impossible! At first it was a trial and error experiment to see what the student's would pay attention to and what seemed to take them off track,especially with young children. With time and from observation I have seen that being ethusiastic and coming up with at home projects to do with the kids has worked very well. The students want to see something new and exciting at such a young age. They seem to get off track if they already know what to expect or we as teachers just talk and talk. If the tecaher is excited so will be the students. For example if the lesson is about stars engage them by asking questions or drawing a star. Have them tell you what they know or think about stars, giving them a chance to participate voluntarily. These are some ways I have grabed their attention and have the studdents engage into the lesson. I hope this helps!
