Connection

This post links to an episode of HybridPod - you can read the transcript here. The topic is 'connection' and the episode describes the ways a teacher connects with her student using video. But what's really important are the little lessons. Like being the one to tell children to go outside. Like using so many exclamation marks (because it feels flat without them). Like using whatever you have around the house. Like speaking to them directly, using "I" and "You" in your language. These are what creates connection. And it's interesting - I misread the original post when I read it, thinking it said "How do we maintain the connection with students we created during the pandemic?" I think that this, rather than the original question, might be the more relevant one.
