The Camera Gives No Feedback<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a classroom, you see eye contact, nods, and reactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A camera is\u2026 silent. Your brain easily interprets that as \u201cI\u2019m talking to myself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2.
