Do students check email? Do they read your announcements? Do you feel like you have to post everything through TikTok for students to see it? There are so many methods built into Brightspace to send messages to your students.
Tips
Pick one or two methods of communication and stick with it the entire semester. Tell students how you plan to communicate with them. If you want student input, survey them and then use the one that is preferred.
Tell students how often they can expect to hear from you and what types of information you will share. For example: weather prevents travel, you have a sick child at home, when grades are posted, etc.
