As a librarian, I don't have my own class so I'm often in the role of the guest speaker.
I try to build rapport by:
* saying hello to students as the enter the classroom (or virtual classroom, in my case)
* taking time to introduce myself and tell students how and why to contact me with questions
* ending my visit by thanking the students for their time and reminding them who I am and how they can contact me.
Building rapport in such a short time is not easy. If anyone else has any ideas for me, I'd love to hear them!
