Well, the results are in!
Present.me was a hit!
My first class of the day is a co-taught English course. My co-teacher said that when Present.me opened and my face popped up, our students got silent immediately. Ms. Marks said that the kids were quiet and paid attention the entire time I spoke. Hurrah!
The kids said I was like "the Wizard of Oz" and thought my mistakes were hilarious. One student felt like I was "staring into his soul" from the screen. Another wished I'd called them out by name and told them to be good. I guess they just wanted some more entertainment.
When I asked students if they preferred listening to me on Present.me or just listening to a substitute, they said they didn't care either way. This made me feel good about it because I'd prefer the kids listen to me give instructions and hear them exactly how I want. I am a control freak, I guess.
Success!
