Using Zoom for online lessons

Here in New Zealand we have been in nation-wide lock down for almost a week now due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and most of us have switched to online teaching and learning.

After testing out several different video conferencing softwares including Wechat, Facetime, Skype and Zoom, I have found Zoom to be the most effective when it comes to teaching my students online. I am able to engage the students a lot more with its screen share function which allows me to mark up the score and for the student to see my notes in real time on their own screens!

Here's a video I made showing how to enable and use this function:

I hope you find this helpful.

Please take care and stay safe everyone!
