  • Send an email that includes:
    • A brief introduction
    • Syllabus and calendar
    • A short video in which I will briefly introduce myself, and I will explain my expectations for Zoom meetings. I will also talk about features that Zoom offers, and that students may not be aware of (raise hand, other reactions, ask for help from a breakout room, etc.)

  • Make sure to leave some time to wrap the session up, instead of just saying: oh, no, it is time! End with something funny, like a picture or gif, or a short comic strip in Spanish.
  • Tell them they are free to leave, but that I will stay if they have any questions.
