Zoom (http://zoom.us) is a popular video conferencing tool, allow one or more people in different locations to join together in a virtual space for conversation. You may employ Zoom tools/functions to enhance this conversation. For instance:
- Use the Share button in the Zoom tool bar to share content from your computer, tablet, or smart phone. The meeting host may need to grant co-host status to others wishing to share (under Participants button), if “share by others” is not activated in main settings.
- Use the Poll tool in the tool bar to create and launch polls to query participants.
- Record the meeting to share with others later. Your Zoom recordings are automatically ingested into your Panopto video library (My files-- meeting recordings). Access this library through one of your Brightspace courses or at https://genesee.hosted.panopto.com (use your myGCC login credentials, if prompted).
- Use Zoom to record a mini-lesson, lecture, or message to your students. Add a link to this video in your Brightspace course. You also may share a link to this meeting with other people by adjusting the Share settings for the video in your Panopto library.
- Explore various Zoom Whiteboards, by clicking the Whiteboard button in the tool bar. You may open a blank whiteboard or one of many templates. You may write or type content on whiteboards.
