Answer polls and chat prompts in online class
When to use this goal
For students in live online or hybrid classes whose present levels show long silent stretches with the class window open but no responses. Use when the teacher builds regular polls, chat questions, or reaction prompts into the lesson. Present levels, not grade, decide the target.
- Baseline
- Most platforms keep poll results and chat logs, so the teacher can count prompts answered after class without extra recording. Count at least five classes and note the number of prompts in each; if the number varies, keep the total fixed by scoring the first eight prompts.
- Tips
- A response is any on-topic answer, including a guess or a question back to the teacher. Off-topic chat does not count. Camera use is a separate decision for the team and family and is not part of this goal.
- Limits
- Responding to prompts shows engagement at those moments, not across the whole class. Connection problems produce missed prompts; record and exclude them.
