I believe that we as instructors have to prepare ourselves for each day of class, even though we've been teaching the same content for a long time. Knowing the content doesn't necessarily mean that we're ready to approach the teaching in the best possible way. Interacting with students like walking around is something that I like to do to bring dynamics to the class. Being patient with students, answering messages and emails always with appropriate language is crucial to keep good connection with students. Finally, giving the students a good reason why we're studying that content and not simply showing them how to do something, is what makes teaching effective and meaningful.
