Sample Hybrid Video

This video shows how students at home can be working on Google slides while students in class are working on binder paper. Students can be practicing the same skill, using different resources. NOTE: This video was recorded as a sample. When we return to school with students, face shields must be worn when removing the mask for instructional purposes.

Make sure it says that the channel is appropriate for kids. Click Save.

Step 2: APPROVE your YouTube channel - (see the video below)

Step 3: Set up your studio to stream through OBS (this can show you and your actions as well as content from your computer, much like screencastify records and shares.) Remember: You must link the stream key and enable auto start and auto stop for the OBS studio to communicate with YouTube. (See videos below)

Step 4: Schedule your stream and share your YouTube link with your class before you start streaming so they can watch you live. If you forget to share the link, you can do so later and students can watch the replay at any time.

What does a live streaming video look like? Here are a few samples from a teacher's first day of live streaming. These lessons were streamed to YouTube to help prepare students for the distance learning side of hybrid learning :

Feeling nervous? Remember, you can create practice live stream lessons to share with your students, or you can practice on your own without sharing. Remember, your students don't enjoy you because of your perfect lessons - they enjoy you because of your love of teaching/learning, your enthusiasm, and your relationship with them. Take the pressure off of yourself to be perfect and just be the wonderful teacher that you are. Think of the webcam/OBS and YouTube Studio as just another one of your students!
