Setting virtual rules and expectations on how our classroom will run was essential from the very beginning. It also allowed for the students to take ownership of how they want their class to run and look like. It also helped tremendously to establish our classroom culture, which made my role a lot easier because the students help each other accountable, especially when we had to rely on the chat at the very beginning. We are a team from the very beginning and it takes a team to accomplish great things. Reminding the students that they are the ones that created the rules helps to hold them accountable and take responsibility for their actions. Our "Don't lose control" rule was important to them because it can be easy to get frustrated and overwhelmed with this new way of learning. We also discussed how virtual learning wasn't for everyone and that was okay as long as you are trying and are asking for help when needed.
