Episode 66: 25 Ways to Get to Know Your Students
Description:
How do you get to know your students? That's the question I posted to my different social media networks. And wow! The responses were amazing! The Lecture Breakers community is so creative!
I compiled all of the responses, grouped them into 5 main categories, and created a list of 25 different strategies you can use to learn more about your students, build community, and increase student engagement.
Thank you to everyone who responded and shared your ideas!
