10/5: realizing

...how I could articulate a feeling I've been having about how some students are engaging (or not) in classes these days:  it's like they tune out as if they're still on Zoom or Teams and can just turn their cameras and microphones off.  Although this phenomenon isn't a good thing, being able to put it in words like that was helpful.  And it makes sense, given that interacting online via Zoom and Teams had become a new habit over the past year and a half.  Now that we're back in in-person classrooms, it's time to change habits, and that can be hard.
