Ruddy-I agree with the article which basically states that relationship building is the first step towards having a successful classroom (both synchronously and asynchronously). A teacher's relationship with their students often impacts how they are engaged and should be a priority when teaching in a whole group setting. If students feel comfortable and safe, they are more likely to ask questions and participate. robin_ruddy https://padlet.com/condellk/acjs85us3r90fcvr/wish/1003948941 2020-12-09 20:19:19 UTC https://padlet.com/condellk/acjs85us3r90fcvr/wish/1003948941 When students are in the classroom, synchronously, they can utilize this time to gain support from teacher and other peers.

She would give students feedback on an assignment and return it with the note resubmit for score. The idea is to encourage students to actually review feedback and implement that feedback before giving them their grade. This keeps them engaged.
