4. Sharing Screens
5. Troubleshooting

CHILL

Most important, keep calm. There will be issues. You got this. It will get better with time.

Troubleshooting

1. Download latest version of Zoom.
2. Make sure you use your name when you sign in.
3. Use headphones.
4. Settings: Make sure your audio is on and your video.
5. If it doesn’t work use call in number.
6. And in class if it still doesn’t work, tell them to check the slides later and that you’ll post them on Canvas.

Screen Set Up 1: Speaker View vs. Gallery View

Screen Set Up 2: Participants & Chat

Start with an Icebreaker: Classes 20 and under

This is an opportunity to test out the mute and unmute function so you can have a conversation during class.

1. Have ready a list of students in your class.
2. Call students by name, and have everyone introduce themselves, unmuting when their turn, so you can check volume ad if it works.
3. Choose a brief icebreaker, this will take time. Perhaps, tell us what they had for breakfast, their favorite coronavirus activity, or something about the room they are in today?

Here we go! (Testing approach with faculty)

Start with a Chat Icebreaker: Classes 20 and over

For classes 20 and over it is going to be too slow to have everyone talk so chat is an option. For smaller classes do this after speaking check in to make sure students know how to use chat.

• Ask a question and have all students respond in the chat. Again, perhaps, tell us what they had for breakfast, their favorite coronavirus activity, or something about the room they are in today?
• Note: there is a private chat function where they can have side conversations or let you know directly if there is an issue and a public one for everyone.

Do not send students the entire invitation Zoom provides. It’s overwhelming.

​

Choose only select information: link and a call in number with meeting ID.

For advanced class

• Break out rooms
• Waiting room for office hours
• Recording and uploading

Concerns and Questions

​

​

• Techniques for making this work for larger classes when you can’t see everyone.
• Organizing group presentation by students.
• How to have students do group discussion, and
• open discussion?
• Getting participation from the students who
• rarely interact during in-person classes.
• Teaching software to students.
• What do we need to tell students to install so they will be ready for our first class session?

​

Additional tips (a working list)

• Make sure you have the latest version installed
• Do a lot of Zooming before you teach: with your church group, parents, etc. Get comfortable.
