I use three screens and it has been a wonderful game changer for me for almost three years. I use three monitors in my career field as a Health Technologist but when I transitioned the same thing into my teaching career it has made my life wonderful!
I just want to say thank you to all the teachers, earlier this week I started helping out in a 3rd grade classroom and experienced how hard virtual teaching can be on teachers. Before helping out in an elementary classroom I only saw a high school senior perspective on virtual learning. I only went one day so far and it was eye opening. All teachers are putting all there effort into virtual learning and some still struggle with technical problems, with the new learning style. Overall thank you to every single teacher for all the hard work and dedication to virtual learning and your students!!
Thank you so much for saying this! It really means a lot because most of us only hear from the general community when things are not going well. This profession takes over our entire lives! I'm in year 33 and my husband in year 25 and we both feel like first year teachers again during remote teaching! However, we both feel we're getting to know our students so much better in this setting! It's weird, but they're producing so much more than usual. I think it's because there are less distractions than in a regular classroom. It is definitely ore work, but it is going well! Thank you for noticing!
Thank you for the acknowledgment when I feel so depleted from this experience especially when I always want to do what’s best for my students .
I love you Miss Ferré! Thank you so much for your help to us teachers!
As a Special-teacher these are very essential tools to have and make virtual teaching go smoother! Thank you for sharing this!
You are so filled w wisdom. I really do appreciate how much information you are willing to share. Thank you!
I love the casual vlog style videos Michelle!💛
Thanks for taking the time during all this hectic stuff to help the rest of us. :-) Your videos are excellent!
Im so envious! All of the channels I see of teachers show like you guys have it packed down and it’s all smooth sailing for you and your students 😞 We had the worst experience ever with mine... we’re about to finish the school year but wasn’t able to connect fully with them, my set up is very basic and cant seem to get my students to engage... plus i got switched to 7th grade from 2nd grade which makes it way more complicated 😞 Thank you though, I always watch your vids for inspiration 😍
Gotta love Apple TV as a second screen!! I’ve actually airplayed your videos on it. Your tech tips are always on point. They were well explained. I definitely got them. This video is being shared with my teacher friends as soon as I finish writing this! You have nailed the system down, it’s quick, efficient, and works for you!!
Always fantastic suggestions! I a using a second screen from now on and I also have a document camera, it belongs to my school and I purchased a ring light with a cell phone holder for making my videos and teaching virtually. I love your videos!!!
You have been a life saver. I am higher education but many of your amazing ideas can be applied. I am so glad I found your channel. We just received the news that we will continue to teach from home in the spring as well so will have to look into some of these suggestions here.
I don’t know if anyone has told you recently Ms. Ferré, but you deserve the world 🤗🥺 I love your videos
I am amazed at how this channel has grown! Wow, way to go Michelle!!!!
I have both places setup this way because I love to continue work while teaching at the same time lol I showed my colleagues to do the same. Makes it so much easier.
Thank you, Michelle! Stay safe 🙏 ❤
Thanks for the ideas! I’m using a second screen (ipad) and my LCD projector (so the kids at school can watch while I’m online with the rest of the class) at the same time which was echoing, but I think it’s fine now.
I maintain my sister's zoom classroom set up since I pass on my old tech to her. She's been using my old iMac and Elmo document camera from my job, but it started to fail so we had to get this. Your video helped us tremendously!
So this is how you look when you are tired, exhausted, run down? Jokes apart, thanks for the second screen thing. I followed you instructions and I have iMac, LCD screen and my MacAir all lined-up. Love your vlog.
Very helpful as always! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you soooooooooooooooo much for sharing your expertise! You make it look so simple.
I use a Chromebook for Google Meet. In Google Meet you are able to sign in with your own id more than once. So I sign in for both on two devices. That way I can see both what I am presenting and what my students are doing.
So helpful Michelle!!! Thank you. I always get so much out of your videos.
You always know what topic I need help with. Blessings to you. This is my first year teaching high school.
You’re an inspiration!
Thank you for the information!! You always have great tips and resources to share !
You’re so tech savvy!!!! 💖
Thank you so much for all that you do. I love working with children with disabilities, but because of the treatment, I received over the past two years from my Administration. I have decided not to become a teacher. However, I wanted to thank you for all of your assistance for the past year.
Yaaay! One of the best video to watch for this morning before I have my “own campus” for my church with my pets as the congregations, lol! 🤣 I texted/talked with my aunt last week, and I once again are pushing down the Family Virtual Hangout Night to October 17 (oooh, your birthday is coming up!!!) after one of my Uncle and his fiancé is getting married like you and Billy are on the 10th next month! I think I’m going to try putting my family on Google Meet on the second screen instead of my main screen while I project my hangout night slides on the main screen! 😍
Thank you so much for this tutorial! It was very helpful!
I’ve been wanting a document camera… no idea why I didn’t think of using my phone!! Thank you so much… will be using in September
Thank you for making this so user friendly. You are so helpful for the technically challenged!
OMG! You have made my life so much better for teaching @ home! It gets so crowded on my screen trying to teach, switch between tabs, and trying to monitor my kids. I'm using a MacBook Pro and my Roku TV.
Thank you X's 5! 😇
P.S. As you can tell... my name is Michelle too, and I'm a 3rd gr. teacher in MD (I had 4th last year). LOL
I follow from Puerto Rico, I learn so much with you . I'm social science teacher.
I like to connect my old iPhone to my Mac using a lightning cable and launch Quicktime Player. Click the File menu and choose "New Movie Recording." Click the arrow to the right of the record button and you'll see the iPhone as a choice. If you want to record audio as well, change the microphone to the iPhone as well
This DOC CAM!! Thank you for recommending it!
I’m a freshman in high school right now but I have wanted to be a middle schools science teacher since I was in seventh grade... I know your videos are directed to other teacher but I still love them 😂❤️
Thank you to all of the time and effort that has gone into sharing this wonderful information! Elizabeth LaRocca
Thank you! I love your videos.
Oooooooh, that document camera is tempting!
I have the document reader. It works wonders!!!
Thank you for your excellent help!
I just set up another screen as well, it's a life changer! (Not to mention while I'm lesson planning I can watch netflix on one screen and work on the other! LOL)
Thank you for teaching us about this. I just found you today- new subscriber❤. Off topic but you are a beauty and your eyebrows are stunning! 😊
Michelle, I am a veteran teacher but I have learned so much from you! I look forward to your videos every week. I bought the doc cam you have because I saw it on your previous video and you were kind enough to link it. I can’t thank you enough! I know a lot of people are using their phones as a doc cam and personally, I did Google it and found out how to use my iPad as one. It was hard to maneuver it and set it up in just the right way. However, this doc cam is so easy to use and literally starts working as soon as you plug it in. It allows flexibility in showing things close up or far away. It is small and compact, which is another plus. I was allowed to bring an old ELMO from school home to teach virtual this year. However, it was so old that the drivers could not be installed. As for price, yes, it still is $84 on Amazon, but that is a fraction of what other doc cams cost. Seems to be some price gouging going on with doc cams lately. If you need a doc cam and web cam, it’s worth it. Btw, if you download an additional free app, it allows you to do a wide variety of more advanced functions, so all the better! Thanks again, Michelle!
I teach live/synchronous college lectures with just my MacBook and whiteboard attached to my basement wall. They seem to like it, so...
@@marktwain368 As teachers, we should stick together and support one another, celebrate in each other’s triumphs.
Very helpful! Thank you!
Wow! So helpful. I wish I had found this sooner. I have an Okio Document Camera. I sure would appreciate a video tutorial on how to use it. Not really how to use the different features.
Thank you. I have an outdated document camera that can’t download to a Mac. I hate switching computers back and forth, so I think I’ll break down and buy a document camera and light. Thanks for the tutorial.
Thanks for the video. I use a 2nd screen and it's great. I think I am going to invest in that doc camera. At this time, I am using my phone.
Great video! Thank you. I am curious if you could do the same thing with a Chromecast if you did not have an AppleTV attached to your TV or second HDMI monitor. Less expensive option if you are just using airplay.
I loved seeing your set up! I am doing my student teaching right now and am trying to think of things my relatives can get me for christmas and graduation for my future classroom. What are some things you suggest asking for?
Thanks, great tutorial. :)
Thank you for making the impossible possible. 😊
I love all your videos 😊
Love this video!
Thank you for this! I literally *JUST* got hired for my first ever teaching job (I'll be teaching middle school english) and it'll be all virtual via Google Classroom/Meet. This has been so helpful.
Your desk lamp also works as a good source of light for meets.
thank you. Your video is amazing!
So helpful thanks so much
Super cool. I'm in Maryland also!
If your TV has something like an Amazon Firestick, you can screencast to your TV from a PC just like you can with Apple TV. You can also screen cast to your TV if you have a smart TV. Basically, you your device is connected to WIFI somehow, then it is likely you can screencast without wires and use it as a monitor.
That's a nice setup. I use a webcam that easily moves around the room.
It was clear. I tried to figure it out using google before I came to your video and couldn't find a good explanation! Then I remembered that you explained how to do it so I searched for this video again.
I loved the idea of the doorbell. Am I missing the audio file/Amazon doorbell link?
Great video!
Omg, I searched for this couple days ago and watch many of the videos and didn't learn how to do it! Like always, your videos are the best! ♥️
Your videos are amazing
Love it... Thanks❤️
Great info!
What a wonderful setup. I am doing my fall semester during my remote / virtual learning, we will see what my spring semester holds. You make wonderful videos to watch.
Thank you so much! I bought the camera. 🥰 Also, the new MacBook has “sidecar” which works great as a second monitor for those who have an iPad.
I love your videos 💖
Thank you so much for these awesome videos!! Question - do you stand up when using the whiteboard behind you? Trying to figure out if I need a whiteboard on a stand or I can put it on the wall behind me. Thanks!
Hello, you are doing a great job! I have a question when I click over on my monitor I do not see anything that says use as separate display
I have to ha e two screens. I do the extend display at home but at school I bring my laptop and then turn on the pc but I’m thinking about just getting a monitor and bring that to school and dismantle the pc because it’s so slow. Love the videos.
Love your videos! Thanks! Can I ask where did you get your desk from?
Thanks
can you take pics on the doc camera to save and download? I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!
Wonderful video! Would you mind adding a link for your desk? Thank you.
You could also use side car with your ipad
Michelle you are amazing!!!!!! I really appreciated watching your utube videos to learn as much as I can about VL. I teach Special Education in Toronto, Canada and when it comes to remote learning parents are not on board. They would rather send their child off to school and let us deal with in-person learning which is a shame because I have learnt some much from you I want to put into action. However, I do have one student at home I would like to use as a trial to incorporate all the technics.
Can I ask you to direct me to one of your videos about sharing your screen on google meet, as I would love to use a slide lesson I have created using Nearpod. P.S. once again I must mention that you are so wonderful to provide us with all your fabulous ideas!
What is the make and name of the white desk you work from at home? Where did you purchase it? I have been looking for just the right desks for weeks! LOVE it! Thank you for supporting all of us through your videos!
Thank you 😊👍☘️
If you don't have an HDMI cable and have to go out and buy one PLUS an adapter for the new macbooks, they sell HDMI cords that are HDMI to USB-C! They're on amazon, super handy because it's just one piece and I don't have to worry about an adapter.
On a PC, hold down FUNCTION key and F4 and choose EXTEND to extend your screen to the second monitor.
And if you use an old phone for your document camera, put it on one of those wire locker organizer shelves, with the phone on top shooting down at the document below. Some of our art teachers are using them.
I am not a teacher and I still think these videos are amazing ❤️❤️
Yes! She’s amazing!!!
Me neither, but I do want to become one so I watch these videos for inspiration
Same! I want to become a teacher, though! I might go to school for that, I don’t really know! I am only in 7th grade, sooo. 0-0
@@tizzytiger100 same!
same
Hi Michelle I love watching your videos! Even though i'm not a teacher, I want to be a teacher when I grow up anyway! And these videos entertain me so much! Thank you!
love your marker/pencil organizer! where did you get it?
I’ve been using an app called duet that lets me use my iPad as a second screen!
Im using my phone and my computer for meets. I join as diffrent users and I talk through the phone and share through the computer, so I can se if theres delay in what im showing as internet conection isnt very good where I live
Love the channel, love the podcast! First year teacher rolling with distance learning the best I can. Learning a lot from channels like yours and CJ Reynolds and even making an attempt at my own TH-cam channel. Keep the good stuff coming! Topher
Michelle, so I went on Amazon on 10/2 to order the web cam and didn't realize it was coming from Taiwan with a due date of 10/25. The next day I cancelled it. I went back on Amazon and can not find a USA distributor. This is a wonderful investment. Pls post the full name of the web cam and any other details that will enable me to purchase this item asap. Thanks Michele
Hi! I have a macbook pro and an imac, how can I share screen with those two devices? Any help is appreaciated!
I bought a Sceptre monitor as my additional display to use with my MacBook Air. It’s working great! The only problem I have is that I have to unplug my Mac charger in order to plug in the hdmi cable adapter. So my computer loses battery life while I’m using both. Is there a way to charge it at the same time?
Eyebrow compliment time!! Your eyebrows are looking so good!!! And also thank you for the two screen tip. I’m in HP for both desktop and laptop, and we have to use zoom. When I share my screen the kids faces are hard to see. With two monitors, will I be able to share in one and move the kids to the other on zoom?
Omg! I’m in your homero0m class
Also, you showed how you would usually have your google slides/presentation up on your Mac monitor...do the students automatically see that? Or is there a way you have to share your screen with them like you have to do on Zoom?
Do you know if the doc cam you use would work with newer Macbooks? Or would I have to use an adapter for that too?
Easy hack on a pc (at least my windows 10), on keyboard press the windows key and p and display pops up and you can change from duplicate, extend screen, 2nd screen only, or 1st screen only.
Best vid ever!!
Is there a particular camera and green that you would recommend?
Thank you! Really, really helpful!
A question. I use a good HD webcam with Zoom. We are encouraged to look into the lens of the webcam (wherever possible) as it simulates direct eye contact with the student/s. My webcam is positioned directly above the laptop screen. So I can look at times into the webcam.... or drop my eye to look at the screen. (Of course, looking into the eyes of a student on the screen does not simulate eye contact!).
My questions is, therefore, when you use a second screen (on which your students appear), I take it that it is a little bit more difficult to switch from simulated direct eye contact to looking to see how/what the students are doing.... since your second screen is quite some distance away. Does this matter for you? Any observations?
