Connecting with our students in a distance learning situation can be challenging but it’s not impossible. This module pointed out again that words have power and can be used for good…in this case help us connect through the screen. I appreciate how this module provided examples of communication to help us make sense of this section. I’m guilty of not always including the students name, and just saying, “Hi or Good Morning”, and I will now include their name. I also will work on reaching out to my students through different platforms…email, newsletters, YouTube and such. Great reminders to provide a variety of techniques so not to miss our students and for times such as these.
