Make your Zoom classroom more effective by:

1. Pre-setting your meeting to mute participant’s microphones upon entry. This helps to avoid background noise and allow your students to focus on your lesson.

2. Looking at the camera to create eye contact with your students. This helps to create a more personal connection while teaching over video.

3. Taking a second to check chat or your student’s video to check-in with your students and get feedback.

4. Speaking as if you’re face-to-face with the class while ensuring you’re at the appropriate distance from the microphone for the best audio experience.

5. Sharing images, files or video, and giving your students a moment to open or take in what you’ve shared.

6. Embracing The Pause. Take a moment after the end of your comments and allow for students to engage before continuing on.
