5. Break Down Barriers: “Instead of leaving an awkward silence while students are arriving, use the opportunity to chat Just as in a physical classroom, some chitchat helps to break down social barriers while creating the expectation of interaction. You might consider pre-loading a slide that features a current event, cartoon, or trivia question to spark conversation in the minutes before class begins.” (Norman, 2017)
