Remember that the purpose of the recording lessons with your students is for those students who could not join the lesson online a the time it was presented live, can view these recordings later.  Also sharing the instructional part of your lessons in a list allows families to review lessons again if they had questions about the content.  

You can begin your Zoom session without recording to allow for open conversation.  Then begin recording when actual instruction occurs.  Caution... when using Quick time recordings instead of Zoom recordings, you will not be able to pause and restart a a recording, but can choose which part of the screen is being recorded.  .
