We started our semester in the brick and mortar classroom on campus. I have always believed I set the climate in my classroom and remain supportive and approachable. Since transitioning into online learning, my students have needed more of that sense of safety as el-earners. Just as I sometimes am intimidated my new technology so were they, but I kept reassuring them we were all together and I was still there for them just in a different modality. Going forward, our next semester will be online as well and I feel I need to be more stringent with my Discussion Thread rules regarding time to post and the quality of content posted in the thread.
