Students in person and virtually can engage in non-digital activities, such as using manipulatives, and capture a final product in a photo or video to submit.

There will be a time when a link doesn't work or a student finishes early. Have a hard copy backup activity or non-digital choice boards available for students to work on. Worst case scenario, students can also record answers in writing to hand in or submit digitally later.
