My 2nd "class" with you today. My favorite was polling because I actually have 2 questions I wanted to ask and I was going to do it by verbally asking. Now I can do it the FUN way. Thanks again. I subscribed and plan on learning a lot more from your presentations.

As a 70+ year old teacher, I really appreciated your tips. Certain students are disappointed they can no longer annotate my shared screen! Also appreciate your replying to comments. Thank you.

Sharing a portion of the screen. Hallelujah! I've searched and searched. Watched tons of videos. No one ever stopped and pointed out that there is an Advanced mode! Thank you!!!

I'm currently going through a series of reviews with a large group. I always find myself asking, "Does anyone on the call have anything they would like to add before moving on?" Now that I know what I can do with polls, I want to try rephrasing the question to be something like, "Does this section feel complete?" Yes, or no. Can't wait to try it. Thanks!

thank you for getting right to the topic and NOT wasting our time with a five-minute narrative for an introduction that nobody wants to listen to! THANK YOU!

Yesterday was my first Zoom class ever, and I went into a minor panic when I tried to share a screen and it didn't happen as I expected. I'm feeling much more confident now, share part of screen tip is just what I need.

This was extremely helpful! My sister said, “ why would I want to annotate, and what is that?” Now she can see for herself! Brilliant!

Maybe best said in a private message, but I'd like the kudos to reach a larger audience. It's so great that we can share knowledge this way and help each other. It's a welcome relief from the overwhelming nonsense we experience these days. That said, you are a very effective, knowledgeable and skillful presenter. For me it pushed me leaps and bounds into realizing the potential of Zoom's tools. I will now put these tools to good use to use Zoom more creatively while interacting with my distant grandkids. I thank you for sharing your knowledge and will certainly do my part in pointing people your way.

All of this was not only extremely helpful as I am new to zoom, but the clarity of your voice and expression was so much appreciated. It felt as if you were talking to me.

Sharing only a portion of the screen is very helpful! Also liked the how to prevent others from annotation on shared screen. Thank you your videos are clear, precise and helpful!

[SusanGFelt]

I'm a kindergarten teacher and the annotate was the best info for me - I want to see if they understand my lesson on my power points - even simply writing letters, I can see who is writing backward or who is starting from the bottom, rather than the top. Thank you so much!

[anleebradley]

I liked finding out how to share only a portion of your screen. That will be such a time saver when working with my littles. But appreciated also finding out how to optimize the sound in videos when sharing. Plus it was good to know that you could select "allow" participants to share screen while in ZOOM. We already have our settings set to HOST Only, but that was nice to know that we could change without having to change our settings. Thanks so much for the tips!

[jenniferrickwood]

My favorite tip was how to stop my students from annotating all over my screen. I've been wondering how to do that and now I know. You explained everything very well. You also gave me ideas on how to use polling. Most teachers that I work with, just ask how you are doing today, but I want to use it as an informal assessment. So many great ideas, I decided to subscribe.

[valeriedryer]

Thank you for jumping right in and not adding a lot of extra commentary. Your tips were great and explained well.

[femmeNikita]

Complete control over screen sharing is a key skill for anyone teaching remotely. Great tips!!!

[ushamaraj]

i liked the share specific parts of text with participants . I am a teacher and this would be perfect to get my students to focus on parts of a text ..the stamp feature will also assist with this . Thank you !!

[williammacpherson]

Your explanation of how to use Polling is the clearest, simplest, most informative description this option on the internet! Thank you!
