Shifting to online learning with your students means video chats on Zoom or Google Meet. It's easy to make yourself presentable on camera with a couple of simple tips for setting up your video.

Next, level with your camera.

Steady your device (camera, tablet, laptop, phone) on your table or desk, so that it is pointing at your eye level, even if you have to stack some books under it. ​So, you should be able to look your camera in the eye, and whoever is video chatting with you will feel like they are, too.
