I have had a love/hate relationship with Zoom. There are a number of features I appreciated, as a professional, like the ability to exit out of a full screen screen share so I could open my notes (or something else 😲🤫🤭). During the pandemic, when I was teaching a hybrid class and had students in my room physically and online, I hated it. Zoombombing was a new thing and teachers were having many issues with it. I instead used Google Meet. Now I am in a world where I'm required to use Zoom and, I'll be honest, I've learned some cool things. I still find the sharing procedure clunky and much prefer Google's, which worked with tabs, windows, AND the screen, but Zoom is growing on me. So, I wanted to share some things I've been doing with my classes. The Annotation DiscoveryI just wanted to give a brief rundown of what you could do with the annotate feature in Zoom. As you can see in the picture, when you click "Annotate" on your zoom toolbar, a second toolbar shows up. You can move this around to where you need it to be and it includes a number of features. You can also disable others' ability to annotate on that main toolbar. From Top Down:
Mythology Class
Spanish Class
Latin Class
ConclusionsI am still learning about Zoom and all the things it can do. I know I may be behind the curve on this, as I held out against it due to Zoombombing, but I am learning more and getting a little more excited about what it can do. What are your favourite features about Zoom? What things do you wish it could do?
