Zoom Support for SD73.pdf

Zoom is widely being used for communication to individual students, in small groups and whole-class. It is a good videoconferencing tool and can link to your gedu account.

For students at home, they do not have to create an account and can simply open a meeting invitation from an email and join. Additionally, if they are on a device where the Zoom app is loaded, they can join without creating an account. Students using a gedu account might link their zoom accounts or might not.

Just a note that Zoom operating in the chrome os (on a chromebook), or the Apple OS (on a phone or iPad) does not have the same function as on a laptop or the app. Details here

A few snippets:

1. app works on phone or download to computer, can log into a browser

2. include video or screen share option

Here is a simple tutorial video for the tool. Thank you Teacher's Tech for the video.

Here is a great slide deck of Zoom resources for teachers, thank you to Del Norte County Office for Education

Screen Recording Videos (Screencastify)

Screencastify is great to record the screen, your voice, and/or a webcam, in order to share.

1. gedu users add Screencastify in their chrome browser through the chrome web store

2. Premium version is temporarily free with CAST_COVID

3. all Screencastify videos are loaded automatically to your Google Drive and then can be shared with a link or embedded into a Google Slide Presentation (*watch your sharing settings*)

In order to send resources and work to students/other teachers, you may have a shared Google Drive. Here is a quick video to add files to a Google Folder, using a computer.

This can also be done on a personal device through the Google Drive app.
