Students don't owe you their attention. Once you internalize this, you can
embrace the fact that it's your responsibility to keep your audience
engaged.

Listening to one person talk for long stretches of time is
mind-numbing--especially on Zoom where you have to sit still, stare ahead,
and maintain eye contact with a screen. If you’re teaching online, whether
informally or formally, it's important to make sure your audience is awake
and paying attention.
