On this page, you will learn different ways in which you can share your BenQ screen with students who are quarantined/remote so they can follow along with your instruction. There are pros and cons to each strategy.
METHOD 1: Using another Chromebook and using its webcam to show your instruction on a Google Meet.
I forgot to share two other benefits of this technique:
(1) If you're using apps or other resources that are loaded DIRECTLY on your BenQ board (as opposed to sharing the content off your laptop) this is the ONLY way to show that content to a student on a Google Meet.
(2) I've often found that, believe it or not, the microphones on a Chromebook are better able to pick up your voice than our teacher laptops.
Method 2: Using InstaShare to share your screen to your BenQ board, and then screen-sharing your screen to a Google Meet
Trying to decide which method is best? For most users, method 2 is a good balance between something that's manageable for your as a teacher and something that will work well for students. Method 3 is good for teachers who are confident with technology and want to become "power users". Method 1 is the easiest, but it also offers some clear advantages that the most proficient of techie teachers will appreciate!
Method 3: Using InstaShare to EXTEND your screen, and then screen-sharing PARTS of your screen to Google Meet.
Fair warning: This method has the most steps involved, but it also can give you the most flexibility with how you share your screen. Watch the video for method 2 first, but consider trying this out!
