Activity

What are some strategies for keeping students attention and also gaining it at the beginning of a lecture. I find it difficult because they all have computers in front of them. I usually say, "can I please have your attention" or " I would really appreciate it if you could take your hands off of your mouse for just a few minutes while we discuss this" What do you think?
Sometimes my plans for active learning activities gets thwarted by too few students in class or absences. Anyone have any ideas for planning around this? Sometimes I only have a few students in my class.
