Emphasizing Connection in Virtual Teaching
Virtual teaching facilitates unique opportunities for communication between teachers and students that may be missed in traditional settings. With increased direct interaction during online sessions, teachers can build rapport by checking in on students' well-being and creating a supportive environment. For instance, one teacher noted that without transition time, they could engage students more effectively during the entire class period.
