Weitz 235

This room not only has a camera that is connected to the classroom computer for you to use with Zoom, but it has multiple projection options for you and your students. These choices may make it more challenging to bring remote students successfully into the classroom.

Camera: the camera in the room is connected to the classroom computer; please use the classroom computer with Zoom and Panopto.
Projection: To show the classroom computer on the 2 projection screens, simply select Computer on the touchscreen.
To show the classroom computer on the monitors around the room, select Student Displays on touchscreen (bottom right) – this gives you a new screen to select the computer or a different device to show on all monitors.
Student Device Display: Students in the room can connect to the individual monitor of the table they are at. On touchscreen at teacher station, select Student Display to allow students to share. They can choose to use the local computer (hiding in the table) or connect a laptop (via HDMI 1 or 2, labeled on cable). The little black box on each table manages the connection (Computer, HDMI1, HDMI2) – students select the appropriate button.
In addition to individual table display, another option at the teaching station is to select a particular monitor to be pushed to all monitors.
Note: if you have remote students, content sharing needs to happen via Zoom’s Screen Sharing capability.
Whiteboards: Students can use the whiteboards with their own dark markers but need to keep 6 feet distance. Use the whiteboard ahead of time to give prompts and have students work on them during a gallery walk, moving from one board to the next.
Note: this only works for students in classroom; for remote students, consider Google Jamboards or Padlet as a space for collaboration and virtual gallery walks.
