A high school history teacher explains how he uses comics to engage students on challenging and vital topics.
One of the more surprising bright spots of the pandemic for me was how much closer I became with students during remote learning. It’s much easier to unobtrusively pull a student into a one-on-one chat during a videoconferencing class than it is in a physical classroom. There are no other students listening in on a private one on one conversation. As an introvert myself, and with a son who can get lost in the shuffle in school, I know that many students will not ask for help, or even volunteer, in a public forum. These one on one virtual chats, during and after class, really helped the students and I to get to know one another as fellow human beings.
