Building Relationships With Students

How to Section

All learners come from a different background. Teaching the same skills to all students can cause them to become bored when the lesson is about something they already know. Allow students to chose the learning path whenever possible. For example, the presentation at the top of the page is about building a virtual environment with Avatars, Google sites, and Google slides that will help to develop positive relationships with students. The presentation focuses on ways to accomplish the goal. It does not focus on the skill necessary for accomplishing the goal. This is where the learner can select the content they need to move forward with the task of building the environment. Use the content provided below to continue learning. The resources are divided into topics and topics can be narrowed to create a custom learning experience that is just right. While continuing building you skills, think about how you can do the same for your students.
