When your face is fully lit, students will be able to see your facial expressions, making it easier to connect with you. Sit in front of a wall \u2014 not a window or mirror \u2014 to avoid over-exposing your camera\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Address the class as if you\u2019re face-to-face with them and look into the camera to make eye contact\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t sit too far or too close to the camera or mic<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Give students time to process and respond to what you\u2019ve just said by taking a
