The teacher engaged the students right from the beginning and asked students to turn on their mics one at a time and introduce themselves. Each student participated actively and felt safe and comfortable in the virtual classroom setting. This is the type of virtual classroom environment I would like to strive for. Jack was extremely happy, engaging, and motivating. The teacher even recorded the lesson so students could play it again later for revision (with permission). The teacher shared materials on the screen so that students could follow along. I noticed that the students were quick to participate in the public chat. I am realizing that students are more likely to type their discussion items into the chat rather than speak on the mic. The teacher provided solid examples for students and it sounded like students were following along with him. This class and setting were completely different from the first class I observed. I appreciate how Jack knows how to engage the class and foster a participatory environment. I have picked up some ideas from him. I have witnessed how important your attitude, language, and mood are when teaching virtually.
