I was recently reading the September/October, 2020 issue of "Science Scope," a publication of the National Science Teaching Association. In this issue, I read the Online Teacher column "Creating a New Environment for Science Learning" written by Denise Wright.

A positive online learning environment can be created from a personalized approach. Making a personalized connection is the key to building a positive climate in an online classroom.
