I learned it is important to build relationships with the students through sharing a bio of myself and having students also share
I learned that communication starts with being relateable to the student. When you share interests with your students, you can establish yourself as an expert in the subject that you’re teaching, making it easier to engage with them in the subject. Another thing that that I learned is that encouraging the students to engage with each other if they live within close proximity of another opens up a class discussion and promotes further engagement with the curriculum.
I learned that your students getting to know a bit about you will make them feel more comfortable. It’s helps with your rapport and can also benefit the classroom and discussions.

I learned how important it is to make strong relationships with your students and let them know your journey and experiences.
In this module I understand how important it is to make sure you introduce yourself to the students by giving them an autobiography about you. Telling them your experience , expertise and credentials help develop a good relationship and trust with your students.
Encourage online presence through a short summary of experience and expertise , this will encourage student engagement.
Comment on Brook Buckelew's post: It is important to project a strong online presence right from the start of your course, including your presenting your professional experience and qualifications. A warm welcome and later personal response/greeting for each student let's students know you are "there" and will go a long way establishing rapport and a foundation for the student/teacher relationship.
It is important to have an online presence to support students. Online learning requires additional technical support.
Projecting a strong onlinepresence starts with creating a positive profile that highlights your experience and qualifications. Equally important is fostering an inclusive and professional environment where students feel comfortable expressing themselves, sharing ideas, and communicating with their peers outside of formal assignments. This builds trust and encourages deeper engagement in the online classroom. Thank you
Social media has impacted our world on how easy it is to do hair on their platform however when we build a relationship with the
students then we are able to tell the student the theory behind those techniques.
I’ve learned, before the end of the first week of the course, it’s ok to send a personalized message to each student. Identify any aspect of the student's biographical sketch I believe is safe to discuss. Send my personal comments to them and remind them of my virtual office hours.
Being an effective educator, it is vital to know your students' background . They will be able to better relate to the instructor if they share their story with students.
In this module,I have learned that being present, supportive and relatable encourages students to open up to learning. I also realize that sharing professional experiences can help students connect theory to practice and feel more engaged in the learning process.
