FWIW, to start a thread on shifting to online teaching, here are some ideas (I look forward to other people’s)
a) Online office hours: use your Canvas-type Chat feature. Ask your IT department how to set it up and then tell students to “Hold your question till I have answer the previous persons.” Then learn how to type fast. b) Powerpointing in real time: Zoom and most other apps allow screensharing, so you can can have Powerpoint on your screen, share the screen, and then give your lecture verbally in the background, going through the slides as you would if you were in the class. c) Powerpointing asynchronously: Use “Screen Recorder” at https://screencast-o-matic.com/screen-recorder#<https://screencast-o-matic.com/screen-recorder> (or similar app) to start your Powerpoint, then launch Screen Recorder, and use your computer mic to narrate as you go through the slides. It took me a few 5-minute trial runs to get the hang of it, but then its easy. · You can also do “tutorials” (I used it to teach making graphs in Excel for papers evaluating whether treaties effectively reduced pollution and overfishing). HERE<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3wmDS_P6FA&list=PL3hQi6pHBVFRQ8dRieKWEM4AUThxZpsMI&index=2&t=0s> is a 5-minute video example -- Screen Recorder automatically highlights your cursor – not relevant most of the time but, in cases like this, quite helpful. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "gep-ed" group.
