Download or read book Teaching with Zoom written by Keith Folse and published by Wayzgoose Press. This book was released on with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teaching with Zoom is a book written by a teacher for teachers. Using non-technical, everyday language and my ‘teacher thinking,’ I explain how to accomplish typical classroom activities – including checking attendance, working in groups, presenting new material using interactive polls, writing on a shared whiteboard, and more. I also cover security and privacy issues, troubleshooting common problems, and getting additional help. This guide truly starts at the very beginning, so even a teacher who has never used Zoom before can learn how to successfully set up and manage a class. The practical information in this book is presented through 46 common teacher questions (How do I show a PowerPoint? How do students ask a question? Can I use Zoom for office hours?) with detailed answers that walk you through each step, supported with over 50 screenshots. For each activity, I explain not only how to accomplish it with Zoom but why you might want to do that task a certain way. Online teaching involves not only teachers but also students and parents, and all three voices should be considered for better online instruction. To this end, I’ve included a chapter filled with dozens of insightful comments from students, parents, and teachers who have used Zoom.
