https://padlet.com/arc815/qiz6awkfeu5b Fostering Relationships in a Virtual Learning Environment en-us 2018-03-21 17:30:01 UTC 2018-03-21 17:41:24 UTC hello@padlet.com arc815 https://padlet.com/arc815/qiz6awkfeu5b/wish/244656866 I develop personal relationships with my students by getting to know them. Once we’ve developed a good rapport, I continue to foster a positive relationship with them before, during, and after class. For instance:

• Students visit my room to have a discussion before homeroom every day*
• I greet them as they walk into class and make small talk before the bell rings*
• In the hallway, I make sure to say hello to my students and make positive statements*
• I provide personal feedback to my students as the year progresses

Through these tools, students can develop relationships with their peers and educators that will help them communicate, feel supported, and have a personalized online learning experience. ]]> 2018-03-21 17:37:20 UTC https://padlet.com/arc815/qiz6awkfeu5b/wish/244661279
