Empowering students by allowing them to present who they are and why they are here. It is always good to show your credibility to teach this course to them by telling your academic credentials and prof of experience.
My take away is the fact that students need more understanding of the boundries associated with contact with the instructor. And we as instructors need to make sure those boundries by means of office hours or emails are clearly stated.
I learned the importance of techniques to use in projecting your presence and in keeping the conversations going in conversing back and forth with the students in the discussion forum. This helps in the students having a clear understanding of the topic of discussion. This is also a is a great learning opportunity for professors to share their experience in the field using case scenarios which helps the students understand how to apply what they learned.
It's important to get to know your students beyond the classroom! Connect with them and allow them to feel a more relational experience from a distance.
super important that students know the instructor is in the course.
We have just started online classes for our students since Corvid19 hit the states. This was very challanging to get all the course material into video format and uploaded but we were able to. Now we need to incoprate the material that was discussed in this chapter. I did not even think about posting a biography. I wil have to try this at the start of the next class.
I learned that it is important to take time to get know your students and have them know and trust you as the instructor. As a first time on line instructor I am realizing how much we take fro granted in a face-to-face situation. It is much easier to get to know your students!
Having students complete a biography is very important when establishing the relationship between the students and the class and the instructor.
You can project an online relationship,by sharing your profile and requesting that your tudnts sure their's with you as well.
OK. I have accidentally posted on other threads and have lost my comment. Here it goes...
I had a few good takeaways from this module when it comes to applying to a middle school classroom, as well as other classes. The online bio is huge for buy-in. The other point....duh...a simple phrase of the time expectations to prepare the learner. Brilliant.

There are a number of tools to establish the roles and relationships of the class from the beginning. To teach effectively in an online environment one has to take actions that relate to timing and format of relational interactions between teacher and students and students and students. There need to be sychronous adn asynchronous options available within the course.
Module 2 gave information about creating your online presence that I think is helpful when establishing and maintaining a relationship with students. I believe I will utilize the techniques discussed to engage the students from the beginning of class, setting expectations, and sharing knowledge, and reminding them that above all I am here to support and guide them and want to see them succeed.
Important to connect with students just like the classroom. Biography to start is good advice and sets the tone of the class.
In an online class you have to build trust and understanding with your students. This is done by allowing students to see that you know what you are teaching and that you have established a relationship with them through learning.
It is important to keep the student interested, i will provide many different ways for class to practice and be sure to make it fun so they are excited to come to class.
I love using the e platform to show the students and staff how to evaluate their care, and move the information from theory to practice.
sharing my biography and experience with the students at the first day of course will help in building relationship with them.
Studemts are more responsive whem they know their instructor is competent, has experience and excellent credentials. This can be accomplished by provifing an instructor bio. Further, students enjoy establishing a rapport and relationship with the instructor. This seems to add acurity and stability to their studies online and in the class room.
