School norms are very important as they set the fundamental start of an online classroom. For many, becoming a virtual classroom is something new and therefore it can bring many challenges. Becoming virtual should not be a negative experience but rather another way of becoming educated in the comfort of our home. Having these norms are a positive way into letting our students become prepared with expectations of what will be required of them. Implementing these norms helps to maintain a more structured classroom where it will be a lot easier to learn and obtain the education needed to have a successful year. If these rules are set in the beginning of the year, then things will be able to work better for both teachers and students. Students are also able to be more comfortable with this version of learning and therefore they will be lead into a positive education experience.
