[MUSIC PLAYING]

00:00:03.090 --> 00:00:05.130 align:middle line:84%
For the students in
particular, so many of them

00:00:05.130 --> 00:00:08.080 align:middle line:84%
haven't had a classroom
experience for over a year.

00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:11.250 align:middle line:84%
And so I think for their sanity
and well-being being in person

00:00:11.250 --> 00:00:12.900 align:middle line:84%
is good, but I think
also with learning

00:00:12.900 --> 00:00:15.590 align:middle line:90%
and social interactions.

00:00:15.590 --> 00:00:17.720 align:middle line:84%
We have been just
looking on our computers

00:00:17.720 --> 00:00:19.640 align:middle line:84%
and whatnot for
handouts that I've done.

00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:21.500 align:middle line:84%
But today, I actually
printed them out.

00:00:21.500 --> 00:00:23.240 align:middle line:84%
And they were so
excited, they were like,

00:00:23.240 --> 00:00:25.880 align:middle line:90%
a piece of paper in my hands!

00:00:25.880 --> 00:00:28.790 align:middle line:84%
So there's something
tactile about being

00:00:28.790 --> 00:00:30.470 align:middle line:84%
there in the presence
of one another

00:00:30.470 --> 00:00:33.500 align:middle line:84%
that I think is just
deeply moving on some level

00:00:33.500 --> 00:00:36.020 align:middle line:84%
that we weren't
even as aware of.

00:00:36.020 --> 00:00:40.010 align:middle line:84%
It really does warm my heart
when they come in before class

00:00:40.010 --> 00:00:41.840 align:middle line:84%
and they're chatting
with each other.

00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:44.630 align:middle line:84%
And then we all circle up at the
start of class like we usually

00:00:44.630 --> 00:00:46.850 align:middle line:84%
do, and we're checking in
with each other's energy

00:00:46.850 --> 00:00:47.660 align:middle line:90%
in the space.

00:00:47.660 --> 00:00:49.010 align:middle line:90%
I haven't seen that in a year.

00:00:49.010 --> 00:00:51.080 align:middle line:84%
They haven't experienced
that in a year.

00:00:51.080 --> 00:00:54.060 align:middle line:90%
To do my art, it's with people.

00:00:54.060 --> 00:00:57.360 align:middle line:84%
I think I'm a better educator
and mentor in person.

00:00:57.360 --> 00:00:59.800 align:middle line:84%
It's how I teach best,
it's how I think fast.

00:00:59.800 --> 00:01:02.880 align:middle line:84%
But I am very cognizant of
those students who chose Zoom.

00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:06.240 align:middle line:84%
And so I try to be very aware
that there are students who

00:01:06.240 --> 00:01:07.980 align:middle line:90%
only see me on a video screen.

00:01:07.980 --> 00:01:12.550 align:middle line:84%
But why are some of them much,
much longer maybe than others?

00:01:12.550 --> 00:01:15.210 align:middle line:90%
Anybody on Zoom?

00:01:15.210 --> 00:01:18.745 align:middle line:84%
The strength of the morphogenic
signal for each section.

00:01:18.745 --> 00:01:19.245 align:middle line:90%
Yeah.

00:01:19.245 --> 00:01:22.170 align:middle line:90%
So that's part of it.

00:01:22.170 --> 00:01:24.930 align:middle line:84%
Working in person
and also managing

00:01:24.930 --> 00:01:28.020 align:middle line:84%
Zoom and all of the
hybrid is really

00:01:28.020 --> 00:01:31.690 align:middle line:84%
challenging making sure that
the students on the screen

00:01:31.690 --> 00:01:34.780 align:middle line:84%
feel just as close as the
ones who are in the space.

00:01:34.780 --> 00:01:37.500 align:middle line:84%
And so it's a lot of room
managing and people managing.

00:01:37.500 --> 00:01:41.080 align:middle line:84%
But it's making them feel
more of a sense of normalcy.

00:01:41.080 --> 00:01:44.150 align:middle line:90%


00:01:44.150 --> 00:01:47.660 align:middle line:84%
Here at UVA, this unique
interaction between faculty

00:01:47.660 --> 00:01:48.845 align:middle line:90%
and students where--

00:01:48.845 --> 00:01:49.970 align:middle line:90%
we go to lunches with them.

00:01:49.970 --> 00:01:51.800 align:middle line:84%
We get coffee, and we
walk across grounds.

00:01:51.800 --> 00:01:53.700 align:middle line:90%
And all of that is missing.

00:01:53.700 --> 00:01:56.150 align:middle line:84%
And so having the
opportunity to try

00:01:56.150 --> 00:01:59.235 align:middle line:84%
to create that in
ways, even with Zoom,

00:01:59.235 --> 00:02:00.110 align:middle line:90%
I think is important.

00:02:00.110 --> 00:02:01.193 align:middle line:90%
And we should be doing it.

00:02:01.193 --> 00:02:01.860 align:middle line:90%
All righty.

00:02:01.860 --> 00:02:02.360 align:middle line:90%
Awesome.

00:02:02.360 --> 00:02:03.180 align:middle line:84%
Well, you all have
a good weekend.

00:02:03.180 --> 00:02:03.847 align:middle line:90%
Thank you.

00:02:03.847 --> 00:02:04.680 align:middle line:90%
Have a good weekend.

00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:05.840 align:middle line:90%
Thank you.

00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:07.390 align:middle line:90%
Bye.
