Greetings Shanon and Sadie!
Thanks so much for the posts about maintaining eye contact.
And - one other thing that I found is that it builds students' self esteem. Those students who otherwise have not been interactive, now have the confidence to really be part of the learning environment.
But what you didn't say is how does it make you an an instructor feel?
Keep up the good work!
