Kim Darche asked her peers on Twitter via #remotelearningusf how they plan to connect and build a collaborative culture with students during remote learning this school year. Here are some of the top responses and suggestions.
Q6:
How might we connect and build culture with students during remote learning?

Lindsay Zilly believes fun should be at the forefront of our efforts:
Replying to @kimdarche
A6: Through fun. We have to seek opportunities to be silly, make mistakes and have a good time with our learners. #remotelearningusf
Dawn Pollard wants to include some old fashioned postage in her mix of tactics ✉️ :
Replying to @kimdarche
A6: Zoom meetings that involve fun games and get-to-know you activities. Sending snail mail to students with return postage. Meeting in more small groups if possible to build relationships. #remotelearningusf
Stephanie Sneath will check in weekly and host virtual clubs:
Replying to @kimdarche
A6: weekly checkin, questions about themselves after reading announcements on lms, google hangouts for class virtual clubs. #remotelearningusf
Irma Maciel plans to connect with parents to get learn more about her students:
Replying to @kimdarche
A6: We can send a survey to receive information from the parents where we can better understand the strengths, weaknesses, and emotional necessities of our students. This will allow us to know our students better to be able to support them. #remotelearningusf
Stacy Rivera will create opportunities for students to interact with each other:
Replying to @kimdarche
A6: flip grid, zoom sessions, and padlet that aren’t about the content but about things our students are interested in. Require students to reply to each other on flip grid and padlet! #remotelearningusf
Becky Helller thinks small gestures will go a long way :
Replying to @kimdarche
A6: I think small gestures of caring will have greater significance. For instance, I’ll mail notes and follow up on things a student shares. I’ll model a enthusiastic mindset: this is an adventure! #remotelearningusf
Angie Vander Kooi wants to continue using Flipgrid to make connections :
Replying to @kimdarche
A6: I really enjoyed using Flipgrid as a way to introduce and connect with others in this class. I see a lot of value in using it with students. #remotelearningusf
