Hi this is Russell Stannard from teacher training videos.com I've had loads of questions about how
the screenshare works in zoom and actually that is probably the most important part of what zoom is
the way that the zoom really works is that you use the screen share to share content that you want to
work with with your students so for example you might want to play them a video and there's a
couple of important things about that you might want to put up an exercise for them to do and
there's a way for you to get them to interact with that and you might want to play for a PowerPoint
or something so what I'm going to do is just focus on the screen share and go for it exactly the way
it works and hopefully by then really make it clear one of the key things is to make sure
you've got everything set up before you start so make sure you've got all your screens ready that
you want to share so have your PowerPoint open have your YouTube video page ready have your
document ready because that will make life much much easier so this isn't an introductory video
I'm not going to start from the beginning I'm gonna start from right how do we screen share
how does it work hope you like the video hope is useful to you if it is please share it with
other teachers getting loads of teachers asking me questions about this and are any questions or
comments leave them below I'm trying my best to keep up with all the questions and the comments
that I'm receiving and of course if you want to come and join me on my youtube channel I'm
gonna be making lots more videos at the moment to help teachers with teaching online so let's
get started with zoom and screen sharing okay so now you can see me absolutely enormous Lee off
the screen I'm gonna turn myself off I don't want to be on the screen quite so big okay we're gonna
concentrate on screen share now the first thing about screen shows that you need to make sure
that whatever you are going to present you have got it open already on the screen and let me just
give you a quick example so you can see I've got this PowerPoint slide and what I'm actually going
to do is I'm gonna run that PowerPoint slides that I've got it ready to actually play okay so
I've got it in to share mode and to come back now to my screen share I'm sorry to them to my zooom
opening at forbes thing now I'm going to turn on the share screen and I can actually see that
that PowerPoint slide is ready I'm gonna click on it and I'm gonna share it and off we go all
right now if I come to one thing to remember if I click on the screen and then use the ctrl Keys I
can move through the slides however ok watch this if I come up to here and click on a note and then
I want to suck on of start drawing on the screen so I point on something like that now I can't
move forward because at the moment this is what's active not the PowerPoint slide so if I click here
all I'm going to get is dots so what you need to do is if you want to move on to another slide is
click on the mouse click on the screen and now you're active again and you can move forward
but you'll have noticed as well something else happens okay before you move forward you need to
click on clear clear or drawings now I know all of this because I've been doing training this
week and that is one of the problems that keeps happening let me go through that again so let's
stop the share go back right through the process open up your PowerPoint slides by clicking on it
and clicking wrong share brilliant click on the PowerPoint screen so that your on that is the
focus you can go through the slides no problem if at any time you want to talk you want to write on
the screen up you go to the top here click on a note do your annotations whatever you want
to do you can draw around things but remember if you want to go on to the next page first of
all clear the drawing then click on mouse click on screen now the screen is active and you'll be able
to move forward and now you can draw again ok so again you would come back so you've got to learn
okay we're going to stop sharing that screen so I'm gonna click on stop share that brings me back
remember I can always put my video on any time and just turn it back off again alright and sometimes
when you're doing screen share that's the way you might want to work so while you're doing this when
you're not doing the screen share you're on the screen once you're gonna do screen should turn it
off so just focus on the screen share right next thing about screen show if we're gonna do a huge
video what's the best way of working so I've got a video ready I click on screen share now
one thing I need you to understand when you're working with video you need to choose the video
click on this button because this what is called is this one here share computer sound that's what
we call system sound allows your participants your students to listen to the video through the system
rather than through your microphone so you want to make sure that you've clicked on that and then
again you click on the share button now one of us and then you can play the video and they're
seeing exactly what you're seeing I'm just gonna stop sharing a minute so I'm going to click back
again and just point out something else as well that you have got this optimized screen showing
for video clips so let's just click click on that I'm not a hundred percent sure what that
does it doesn't seem to make massive difference it may mean for example that only that part of
the video is played but now you are playing a video now one of the things that I like about
zoom is that you've got control because you are playing the video through screen share it means
that if you play the video and you stop the video that also happens for the students now
not all systems work like that so some systems you can be playing the video but the students
might decide to pause the video or go back or play something else you actually haven't got control so
the nice thing about zoom is that when you play the video that is exactly what the students see
so you know what your students have seen ok when you're working with when you're working with video
super quick publicity if you come to the front page of the teacher training videos calm I've put
lots of videos on about teaching online if you want to learn about any of the key technologies
just click on them across the top here as well loads of videos for example on Moodle if you want
to follow my work sign up to the newsletter that way you'll be updated with all the new videos the
blog posts the webinars that I run and the online courses and of course please join me on my youtube
channel right let's get back to the video now something that a lot of people have been asking
me about is can we get the students to draw on the screen so instead of you drawing on the screen can
you get your students to do it and the answer is yes and I'm going to show you an example when I
was doing some training yesterday with a friend of mine and I'm showing her how she can draw I
can pass control so she's the student I'm the teacher and there is a few tricks here first
of all obviously screenshare chews pen so that you've got the pen active and then pass control
and you can pass remote control to the student and that the list of all the students will come
up I'd choose a letter and then suddenly she can write on the screen and then I can just go up to
the top and then revoke control at any time that I want to bring control back to me now the thing
to do is to turn the pen on first so that when you pass control to whoever you want to pass
it to they've got a pen that can start drawing on the screen at any point you can come back
and revoke control so I'm going to show you this live I really hope it helps because I think it's
a something that we all need and something can be really useful probably quite hard to manage
you if you've got big classes but if you follow the steps that I'm showing you now it should make
it manageable I'm gonna give you a note and I can now note things on the screen right now should be
able to see that is that correct yeah can you see me on screen now I fact so what I do is I
go to the top of the screen I roll over until there's a little drop-down menu that comes along
and then I choose remote control and I say give mouse and keyboard control to alehna which I'm
going to do again now I choose the person now you should be able to do it again yeah is that right
can you yeah okay and then if I want to take back control I roll up to the top of the screen again
roll over let me just click on this drop down menu so I have to click on it for the drop down
menu to come I click on remote control and I say I bought control and now Cattrall comes back to me
okay really hope that helped you a lot of people been asking me about the screen sharing in zoom
so hopefully now that's made that clear how new video how you do pap on how you get the students
to interact with the content zoom is great for a live session one of the other things about zoom is
that you can actually use it for screen capture those of you that follow my work know that I'm
screen capture mad and everything I do is about screen capture and in fact zoom can be used for
screen capture because you can record a lesson and if you do a lesson with no one else just yourself
and record it then you've got yourself a screen capture so it can be really useful for that there
are quite a few advanced features in zoom that we can use and a few things that we can use it for a
lot of people use it for screen capture obviously the only thing is when you use the screen capture
facility in zoom you are limited you can't edit it or anything like that hopefully if you come to
teacher training videos as I pointed out before there's some lots of other free videos on using
tools obviously one thing I'd really recommend if you're a teacher or a small school when you
haven't got a virtual learning environment then learn to use it model and model and zoom together
can be really powerful and model all the homework and the activities and the exercises and then zoom
to do the live sessions obviously you need to think about the input side of things that's very
very difficult there's a lot to think about and so how can you deliver your train changing from
teaching in a classroom context to teaching online and it's not the same you can never get as much as
you can out the classroom but you can achieve some things and if you combine it with it model
then you can do a good job as I've said before if you want to please follow me on my newsletter
update you all the time send you all the latest videos blog posts etc and of course join me on
my youtube and I really hope that videos are useful if it was like it share it comment on
it it'd be great I really try my best to keep up with all the questions and thank you very much
you
