Perhaps most often, teachers use Skype to conduct online lessons, but there are many other platforms that are no worse, and sometimes even better than Skype. My favorite and most used one is Zoom.

What is Zoom?

Zoom - service for video conferencing and online meetings. You can download the program, and here is the instruction To her. Anyone who has created a meeting can arrange a meeting. account... The free account allows videoconferencing for 40 minutes. Paid tariff costwith unlimited duration of conferences of all sizesand with up to 100 participants - $ 14.99 per month. there is tariff plans and with other conditions (business, enterprises), but their cost is much higher, and I could not pay for one month, they asked me to pay immediately for a year.

Zoom is great for individual and group lessons, students can log in both from a computer and from a tablet with a phone. Anyone with a link or conference ID can join the video conference. The event can be planned in advance, as well as a repeating link can be made, that is, for a permanent lesson in certain time you can make the same login link.

Benefits:

Great communication. In my practice, there was not a single case that the platform failed

Video and audio communication with each participant. The organizer has the ability to mute and unmute the microphone, as well as mute the video and request that all participants turn on the video. Canjoin the conference as a view-only participant

You can share your screen (screensharing) with sound. The screen sharing can be paused. Moreover, you can not share the entire screen, but only individual applications, for example, enable a browser demonstration. In the settings, you can give all participants the ability to share screens, or enable restrictions so that only the organizer can do this

The platform has an integrated interactive whiteboard, you can easily and quickly switch from screen sharing to whiteboard

There is a chat where you can write messages, transfer files to everyone, or select one student. The chat can be set to be automatically saved or saved manually at each meeting (Chat → More → Save Chat).

You can record a lesson both to a computer and to the cloud. Conveniently, you can set up auto-start recording, as well as pause it.

During the conference, you can appoint a co-organizer, who will have the same capabilities as the organizer: turn the microphone on and off for individual students, rename and divide into rooms.

What do I like the most?

The ability to divide students into pairs and groups

It's like in an offline lesson to separate students and give separate assignments. You can divide students into pairs and groups and assign them to separate rooms - session rooms (mini-conferences), where they will communicate only with each other, the rest will neither see nor hear them. The number of rooms is determined by the teacher, participants can be assigned automatically or manually. The organizer has the opportunity to walk through the rooms and check what is happening there. You can also move participants from room to room.

Virtual background

If you have a solid green background, you can replace the background and create an unforgettable atmosphere in the lesson. This is suitable when working with children (you have to constantly surprise them 🙂) This is the background I did for Christmas lessons:


and this one is for a lesson in San Francisco. During the lesson we moved from one attraction to another, and when we “reached” a new place, I changed the background and we visually studied what was there.

Pencil

During screen sharing, there is a “Co-annotation” tool, that is, you can draw, highlight, erase, etc. This can be done by both the teacher and the students (of course, in the settings you can turn off this function for students).

It is a great service for hosting and recording high definition video conferencing.

Zoom not only provides video conferencing, but also allows you to record it for up to 40 minutes. The number of videos is not limited. Service in free version provides video communication with 50 participants. Let me remind you that in Appear - only 8 people.

True, for this you need to register, get your account. Then invite conference participants by clicking on the button Invite.

You can give all participants your conference ID.

The connection of participants will be reflected in your panel on the right.

All participants are placed on your desktop using the tool Speaker View .

You can control the program by turning on or off video and sound, if necessary, you can enlarge the screen of one of the participants.

During the video broadcast, it is possible to organize a chat (text messages).

In addition to the texts, you can send an image.

Your mini bar looks like this.

It is convenient to work with it by choosing the required function.

And finally, a breakthrough idea this service is the use for video conferencing mobile devices: smartphones, tablets, iPhone and iPad.

Moreover, from these devices you can fully control the video conference in the same way as from a personal computer.

The service can be a good platform for conducting remote tutoring sessions or creating short instructional videos, even for more complex distance learning designs.

Perhaps the joint remote creativity of students to create projects. Or, at a distance, the group can report on the results of their work.

Thus, even in free, we get a good tool, with almost all functions. Again, there is a quantitative limit of up to 50 people.

Is there a way to have meetings with the participant in different locations?

Nowadays, more and more people are choosing to contact groups for online meetings. Thus, distance is no longer an issue. You can conduct business meetings with Zoom, Skype and many other online conferencing services.
