Screen recording & annotation using zoom

During this lockdown, teachers have needed to adjust, make changes and reflect on practices that have or have not worked for them. Everyday we are learning as professionals what will work for our students online in this distant home learning, and what also is just a complete fail. Communication has been a huge part of this, with many using zoom to connect, teach & continue to build skills with our students. 

I connect with my students daily over zoom for 30 minutes and usually have a theme or focus to the session. These are short fun snippets but do have some actual content in them. ​See an example of my meeting overview here, where I have a theme for the day, focus of the session and then some supplies they need to have handy to help them. 

In my zoom sessions I do model a lot of my learning so my students can see, hear and have me explain what is happening. This is modelled through my iPad, air played to the session in my zoom. I have found this very helpful in helping connect my students to the learning and also to ensure I am being clear in my learning. 
Check out this video tutorial below that shows you how I use screenshare and annotation apps/software during a zoom conversation.
