One of the most common things you do in zoom as a teacher is screenshare. when you screen share it allows you to share videos PDF files and in fact anything that is available on the screen of your computer. for example it's common to use screen share as a way of talking through a PowerPoint presentation or discussing some information in a table or a graph. accessing the screen share also allows you to access the interactive whiteboard.

In this video I will take you through the key functionality of screenshare. There are in fact two different ways of using the screen share facility in zoom and many teachers don't realise this. So for example it is possible to screen share your complete desktop and this way your participants will see everything that is on your screen that you are currently focused on. the problem with doing this is that sometimes you might accidentally open screen that you don't want your students to see. so though this is a good setting it can create problems with privacy. In zoom it is also possible to share a specific window. This normally means that you are sharing a specific application like for example Google Chrome or your PDF files. The important thing to remember when you screen share like this in zoom is that if you begin to share a different window with different content then you need to reshare when you're working with zoom. Zoom will continue to share the application or window that you shared from the beginning. zoom does not move with you to the new window or application unless you press the reshare button. There are several benefits of using this way of screen sharing because it means that you can safely open different applications on your screen and know that your students are not seen what you are doing rather than sharing your complete desktop you are actually sharing a specific application from your computer.

I use both techniques when working with zoom but it is very important to understand the difference. it is also a really good idea that when you are working with zoom to make sure that you have everything ready before you start your zoom session and that means when you screen share you will see all of the different things that you want to share are already available and in the zoom window. Don't forget to that when you screen share you need to screen share audio as well otherwise when you play a video your student will not be able to hear it.
