Is the camera pointing up your nostrils or at your left ear?\u00a0 What do you see in the background? Everyone has been commenting on me in my big easy chair (with a floral curtain pattern behind it).\u00a0 I don\u2019t have zoom meetings against my huge bookshelf with my artwork and urns of my deceased pets lined up. While comforting for me, they may not be to everyone else\u2019s taste.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Have the right light.\u00a0 This is something I struggle with.\u00a0 I wear eyeglasses and too much light causes reflections in the lenses and it\u2019s hard to see my eyes.\u00a0 Too little and you can\u2019t see my face well. That\u2019s a work in progress for me.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Look into the camera.\u00a0 This can be tricky if people are sharing screens but try not to be looking off in the distance at your television or out your window at the squirrels playing.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Pay attention.\u00a0 Yes, it\u2019s so easy to be distracted while at home.\u00a0 How many of us have had to quiet barking dogs or children coming in to ask questions while we are on a zoom conference?\u00a0 But do your best to stay focused on the meeting at hand and to stay in the present moment and try not to multi-task too much\u2014stay engaged, especially if you\u2019re online with the students.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This one is most important and not on the list but should be.\u00a0 Be forgiving of yourself and each other when mistakes are made.\u00a0 We have all been asked to accomplish a great deal in a short space of time, and no one can be expected to be an expert immediately.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Continue to take care of yourselves and your families. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/catwiki.xula.edu\/KeepTeachingXULA\"><b>#KeepTeachingXULA<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today's guest post is from Karen Nichols, Distance Education Coordinator in Xavier's Center for Continuing Studies &amp; Distance Education In 2015, I gave a presentation in CAT which included Netiquette Rules for faculty to apply in their discussion board posts and email correspondence with their students.\u00a0 The suggestions were fairly common sense: Be polite, respect <a href=\"https:\/\/cat.xula.edu\/food\/how-things-have-changed-new-expanded-netiquette-rules-for-video-conferencing\/\" class=\"more-link\">...continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> \"How Things Have Changed\u2014New Expanded Netiquette Rules for Video Conferencing\"<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[4],"tags":[233],"class_list":{"0":"post-15227","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-online","7":"tag-online-teaching","8":"h-entry","9":"hentry","10":"h-as-article"},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p82MQk-3XB","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":16933,"url":"https:\/\/cat.xula.edu\/food\/what-the-pandemic-should-have-taught-us-about-effective-teaching\/","url_meta":{"origin":15227,"position":0},"title":"What the Pandemic Should Have Taught Us About Effective Teaching","author":"Janice Florent","date":"June 20, 2021","format":false,"excerpt":"In a recent Inside Higher Ed blog post, Steven Mintz discusses lessons learned from the pandemic about effective teaching.
