Teaching this semester, I was glad that I had the opportunity to go fully online/synchronous. It's hard to connect to students via zoom, but at least if they're all on zoom I can see some faces and see if they're understanding - put a grid of student faces on the second monitor.

Now even in an in-person lecture with a larger class, you're not reading everyone - that's why you ask for questions, have office hours etc. Same thing with zoom. But having even a grid of 6 or 9 students in the corner, I can still see if they are following.
Things like, "Did the key point get a bunch of them to scribble down a note" or "did their faces scrunch up with confusion at an unfamiliar term?" And even sometimes "did my joke land?" because a little humor fosters better attention produces better learning.

Mostly students ask questions via the zoom chat. I know other professors find that really cumbersome - they can't watch the chat and teach at the same time - but I'm an old MMO-player. I can lecture and watch a chat and keep the powerpoint and remember my DPS rotation.

Ahhh, thank you! Are you familiar with the platform Discord at all? I've been surprised it hasn't taken off more considering how much more secure and enduring it is, with servers working very well as a digital meeting/classroom space.
