Connecting With Students Provides Powerful Outcomes Featured Educator Rebekah Kitchin Empowered Educator Palmer, Alaska

We all remember our favorite teachers and most often they were the ones we had a strong connection with. Creating a connection builds a solid bridge between teacher and student and allows communication, security, respect, and learning to travel in both directions. This bridge can be built from many angles and from many materials, but a connection is always the first building block. Some may wonder where teachers find that crucial first piece? Often, it is carefully forged and cultivated from seemingly small moments and small actions. A thoughtful response to an answered question, words of encouragement when a student is struggling, or it can be tiny trophies in the form of digital stickers or badges for a job well-done. Teachers are master bridge builders, and with technology now in the classroom, it can be the conduit that strengthens the structures and creates even stronger throughways. The key is helping students find a link to the content that is taught and bolstering their abilities and interests. One skillful designer is Rebekah Kitchin, an educator, Digital Organization Specialist, and educational technology enthusiast.
