I'm a big fan of using the camera. I know we have students that don't want to turn it on, but that is a separate conversation.
As a coach I've been able to teach many virtual classes this year with different groups. I require the camera to be on, it can be pointed at the ceiling, but it needs to be on. When I'm going through an activity or giving step by step directions, I tell the students to turn their camera off when they are ready for the next step. It's similar to having all your students put their hands on their head to show they are ready. When I start the next step, cameras go back on.
As for tools, Nearpod and Peardeck are great instructional tools for engagement and pacing.
