Introduction
Zoom is one of the most appealing tools for organizing meetings and for
enterprise communications for education. It offers a secure and easy to use
platform for audio conferences, video conferences, and webinars. A zoom
meeting is where the host shares hosting responsibilities with other participants.
Meetings can have up to 100/300/500 participants, depending on your Zoom
plan.
What is Zoom?
Zoom is a cloud-based video conferencing service. It is intended for businesses to
work remotely and offers a wide range of services to accommodate any business’s
needs. These include video and audio conferencing, collaboration, chat, and
webinars.
It supports both desktop and mobile users.
Zoom has become extremely popular in the world of business with over 20,000
companies choosing to use the service.
A Zoom Meeting is what you can use on a normal subscription and is intended for
up to 100 attendees. It also supports larger audiences with Zoom Rooms. These
support up to 500 slots for people, but it does require an additional subscription.
The platform also supports social media integration like Zoom Live on Facebook.
HOW WILL USING ZOOM IN THE CLASSROOM INFLUENCE
THE FUTURE OF EDUCATION?
Other than for classroom use, Zoom has been utilized by professionals as a
communication tool for collaboration. Teleconferencing through Zoom has
increased people’s productivity. I know that our situation has caused
repercussions and doubts, but with Zoom, we can deliver quality instruction to
our students effectively and efficiently.
1. SIGN-UP IS FOR FREE
What we need today is what’s accessible and equitable. To enjoy using Zoom, just
click the “SIGN UP, IT’S FREE” button and you can connect with your students and
engage them with your interactive lessons. Just visit zoom.us.
Of equal importance, this communication tool helps teachers and students to
maintain a connection while in the new normal setting of education. So, sign up
now and make the most of it and be productive. If it’s your first-time using Zoom
in your virtual classroom, don’t worry. Get used to it and enjoy your synchronous
and asynchronous discussions with your students.
2. SHARE YOUR SCREEN
Since online teaching has become the norm today, as teachers we need to
prepare elaborated presentations to give our students amazing learning
experiences beyond face-to-face instruction. This needs a lot of work but it’s our
job! So, we shouldn’t get stressed!
You can share your prepared presentations with your students. Zoom will let you
do that. Inside the app, you’ll simply have to choose from a selection of meeting
controls. You can start and stop the video, plus you can mute your voice anytime.
Zoom even allows you to show your work to students, teachers, or co-workers.
That means everyone can present what they’ve been working on quickly and
easily. Just click the share screen icon found on the bottom tab and choose the
file or presentation you want to share.
3. ZOOM IS EASY TO USE
Zoom has a friendly interface that’s super easy to set up and use. Remember, not
only teachers and professionals are using Zoom. Most of the users today are
students and parents because of the high demands of homeschooling due to the
pandemic. So, what’s easy and accessible for everybody is just practical.
Yes, Zoom has become a go-to service to students. We need to assist them to stay
connected with us. But we don’t have to worry if we are using Zoom because it
has been popular for its ‘ease of use’ feature.
If you’re not with Zoom yet, simply download the iOS or Android app, create or
sign up for a Zoom account, explore it and enjoy.
4. CUSTOMIZE BACKGROUND IMAGES
Having the Zoom video chat app as a means for online teaching and learning is a
lot more incredible and exciting for you can change your Zoom background. This
is kind of helpful for video conferencing services such as online teaching.
The visual stylishness makes the learning environment more interesting. Go to the
setting gear and change your virtual background. If you don’t like Zoom’s default
backgrounds available, upload your own image. Now you can feel professional
with the background of your dreams. Would you like a library back view, a
conference table, or a relaxing window?
5. MUTE AND UNMUTE ALL
Yes, you can mute everyone while you discuss the lesson. When the video feeds
become too noisy, Zoom allows you to claim your peaceful space by setting
everyone on mute. This is extremely necessary especially during video conference
calls.
But first of all, you have to indicate that in your house rules too. So your students
are aware of it. Let your students know that unnecessary disruptions should be
avoided and state that in your expectations so they will always remember.
More oftentimes, as a teacher, you set yourself as the host of the video
conference, right? So, you take responsibility for choosing the appropriate setting
for muting everyone’s microphone if the environment becomes too noisy. Just
locate the “Mute All” button and click it.
6. SCHEDULE A MEETING
Scheduling a meeting is one of the best features of Zoom. Click on the “Schedule a
Meeting” icon to take care of the array of options. This can also be a way of
collaborating with your co-teachers and sharing best practices.
Once you schedule a meeting on Zoom, this will ensure that you won’t be late or
forget the important date. Being the host, you can have the schedule appear on
your participant’s calendar.
It also gives you the option to program recurring meetings, just click the
‘Recurring Meeting’ button. Edit all required details, set the time, date, duration,
and name of the meeting. When you’re done, click the “Save” button and you’re
all set.
