- Put all stuff on google calendar, what to expect and when to expect
- Also, make sure about lecture times, and what content is covered in each lecture
- Pay attention to DSP
Getting to know students
- Pre-course survey
- Timezones, learning environments
- What do they need me to help them with?
- fears, interests
- especially when you’re teaching remotely
- what kind of students do they have access to?
- what kinds of media have students been consuming?
How do I get students comfortable with turning on their video?
- Ask students to turn on notifications on bCourses
- Have to help students, by building a remote environment
- Regular, bare minimum stuff (but consistency) is way better than flash bang bell and whistles that are impossible to maintain
First week
- Welcoming students to the course, making students feel like they’re included, need them to know that they’re a student, and I’m here for them
- Set up some kind of study groups
Zoom settings
Do I want to enable chat or not?
Are people just going to interject in? Use the hands feature? Type in the chat?
You can just take a break when you have to go
On the first day, tell them that I’m a human, feel free to reach out to me. (This is best with some kind of story)
Call people by their name, repeat their name, and use the tools from the negotiation book
Be available for students on Whatsapp (at night), set up consistent time that you’re available for students
Talk slowly, especially when you’re recording a video - it’s much more natural to speed something up than slow it down. 202212291306
