It's a cliche already to talk about how exhausting it is to teach classes via Zoom--to keep track of all those faces and try to lead a big group in a meaningful discussion--but yesterday when both of my first-year classes were meeting on Zoom I tried something new: instead of constantly looking down at my notes, I tucked them in my handy-dandy little gizmo that holds papers upright, so I could have my notes at eye level throughout the discussion. Not sure why it never occurred to me to do this when I was teaching for weeks and weeks on Zoom last spring, but I guess I'm just glad to find a small change that can make my work just a little bit easier.
