Communication Tips by https://padlet.com/heather_scott1/seprvaqvbxp8 How do you get your students to open up to you and share things about their lives? en-us 2017-02-01 18:40:54 UTC 2026-03-11 03:28:01 UTC hello@padlet.com Start Early heather_scott1 https://padlet.com/heather_scott1/seprvaqvbxp8/wish/150943967 Building the relationship starts in the first couple of days with me. The more I reach out the easier it is. I check in multiple times in the first week to see how things are going and definitely at the end of the first week.]]> 2017-02-01 18:42:14 UTC https://padlet.com/heather_scott1/seprvaqvbxp8/wish/150943967 Use Feedback heather_scott1 https://padlet.com/heather_scott1/seprvaqvbxp8/wish/150944988 If I can't get students to respond, but they are working, I try to use feedback as a place to reach out to them]]> 2017-02-01 18:44:42 UTC https://padlet.com/heather_scott1/seprvaqvbxp8/wish/150944988 Be Quick heather_scott1 https://padlet.com/heather_scott1/seprvaqvbxp8/wish/150945560 I answer as quickly as I can.  I have videos, links, etc at the ready to help with course navigation, and anything difficult from the first module so that I can reference it when they ask.

For example "Here are some examples of real life vertical angles. Can you think of one?" Then I celebrate those who respond and share their answers in the announcements and through text/Canvas email. This gives me a celebration and an instructional piece and hopefully builds interest inthe students to read and respond.]]> 2017-02-06 14:08:18 UTC https://padlet.com/heather_scott1/seprvaqvbxp8/wish/151814094 Opening Phone Calls paul_mayfield https://padlet.com/heather_scott1/seprvaqvbxp8/wish/151834889 Making that connection with the welcome call is critical. Let the students know that you care and that want them to reach out to you for help. 

]]> 2017-02-06 14:53:10 UTC https://padlet.com/heather_scott1/seprvaqvbxp8/wish/151834889 I try to find out something about them personally. In their Submit an Assignment, some of the students let me know about some of their interests in the last question. I make sure I comment back about their answer. angel_willis https://padlet.com/heather_scott1/seprvaqvbxp8/wish/151873639 2017-02-06 16:23:36 UTC https://padlet.com/heather_scott1/seprvaqvbxp8/wish/151873639 Use Feedback barbiepilla https://padlet.com/heather_scott1/seprvaqvbxp8/wish/151986206 Most students respond to course messages and text messages, but I've started using feedback as a place to start a conversation. Sometimes if I ask them in my feedback to please check their inbox, I will hear from them not long after.]]> 2017-02-06 21:46:44 UTC https://padlet.com/heather_scott1/seprvaqvbxp8/wish/151986206 Ask questions... https://padlet.com/heather_scott1/seprvaqvbxp8/wish/152005365 I send out a math question via text each week, and through the course messaging app for students without phones, and follow up with all students based on their responses.]]> 2017-02-07 00:15:33 UTC https://padlet.com/heather_scott1/seprvaqvbxp8/wish/152005365 ASK for response: natalie_tucker1 https://padlet.com/heather_scott1/seprvaqvbxp8/wish/152033547 I ask students to respond to a question in the announcements and the celebrate those who do and send a reminder to those who did not. ]]> 2017-02-07 04:51:53 UTC https://padlet.com/heather_scott1/seprvaqvbxp8/wish/152033547 Text me Tuesday! bethmusick23 https://padlet.com/heather_scott1/seprvaqvbxp8/wish/152322331 I started from the very beginning and I let them know it was a WEEKLY requirement for the course. If I don't hear from them by Thurs. then I start texting them. I tell them if they don't want me to call them, then text me each week :) I don't nag as much if I have heard from a kid at least one of the two weeks in each period. The text me tuesday question is also something random so they have something to at least say to me other than hi. ]]> 2017-02-07 22:41:37 UTC https://padlet.com/heather_scott1/seprvaqvbxp8/wish/152322331 Message Me Monday or Text Me Tuesday https://padlet.com/heather_scott1/seprvaqvbxp8/wish/152342385 I try to keep them guessing...some weeks it is TMT, the others it is M^3. I may ask a silly questions (if you could be anyone for 24 hours, who would it be and why?), or questions based on the math we are completing. I build my shout outs around their answers.
