You created a respectful and supportive learning environment that encouraged all learners to participate actively and without hesitation. For example, when Troy hesitated to respond to a question about specific heat, you patiently waited and encouraged him by saying, “There’s no rush, take your time,” which likely made him feel more comfortable and confident in contributing to the discussion. Additionally, when Faris provided an answer that wasn’t entirely accurate, you responded with, “That’s a really good answer. I really like that thought process,” before gently guiding him towards the correct understanding. This approach not only maintained his confidence but also reinforced a positive and collaborative learning atmosphere. Your willingness to pause and address any concerns or questions, as shown when you said, “If you need me to re-explain anything, just let me know,” further contributed to the inclusive and respectful environment. Keep using these techniques to foster a learning space where everyone feels valued and supported. While technical issues can’t always be avoided, having a backup plan or notifying learners of what to do if you disconnect can help keep the session running smoothly. For example, you might say, "If I disconnect, please check the chat for instructions or wait for me to reconnect."
