Luma Connections #23: Share an Act of Kindness
Collaboration and connection are important for our social-emotional well-being. Importantly, Luma has conducted research and published the benefits for creating learning communities remotely. This year, Luma will provide specific strategies you can implement to connect learners remotely. We are calling these strategies our Luma Connections.
Teaching Tool: Discussion Board
This is an online tool that allows learners to interact with each other to explore a topic and to discuss key concepts and concerts, share experiences, interact with each other, and to ask questions. Interactions are not in real-time and can be mentor-learner and learner-to-learner.
Kindness Matters
If you do something kind for someone else, it will make you feel better. Challenge your learners to perform an act of kindness, share what they did, and react how they felt. Have a kindness corner in a newsletter to share the examples of how your learners do kind things for others.
