  • These Zoom meeting tips are absolutely over the top, but also a ton of fun. I’ve been teaching all of my high school digital media classes online for the past 6 weeks and have built two streaming setups with consistent capabilities and quality, regardless of whether I’m teaching from home or form my classroom.
    Even though this is my setup for teaching, the basic concepts can be used in any virtual meetings.

      ​@@tombuck I like how u try to make the students ask questions on their own instead of having to force a new term upon them making it feel like theyre being somewhat forced to and potentially prevent them making other questions they´d like to know the answer to. I could imagine its really like smalltalk to you and the students. Too bad i never had the luck to graduate with this kind of invested teacher than your students do.

      I wanted to be a Tech Support for my school district that I grew up into and this be an excellent idea to do Zoom Setups for teachers! I was actually inspired by TechSource for desk setup now Zoom setups is actually next level. I even got one for my own because I've been doing interviews and meetings through Zoom! I think all Tech Supports in schools should work on projects like this to help support teachers who are teaching from home and us Tech Support guys can come to their house and setup their Zoom setups. That be a project I take on but sadly I got rejected from one of my recent job interview. 😭

    I have a full respect for teachers. I honestly believe they should be paid more since they are helping build our future. Although college tuition is going up by 25% (way more than 2% inflation), I have a feeling teachers are not being paid in proportion to those costs unfortunately.

    • @tombuck

    • @krakenjm6877
      @krakenjm6877 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      College tuition going up that high is also the reason that people are teaching themselves and not bothering with wasting time and money there. More and more companies are hiring without college degrees, students who haven’t gone to college generally show greater effort and work ethic, not to mention that self teaching means that you can go at your own pace and not be as stressed. Most people who self teach are teens which means by the time they exit high-school they will be far more prepared than people who go off to college.

    Really cool to see that a teacher's putting in this amount of effort. I'm no longer a student, but I've had my fair share of online classes where you can't see the professor because their camera's wack or their lighting is nonexistent, or just their bitrate/internet speed isn't good enough.
    Super cool that the school's allowed you to nab some of the gear to make things easier as well.

    One basic question I have is why the choice of a shotgun mic, specifically in your classroom? Is that to keep it out of your face? Like with the laptop fan at 100%, would that not be reduced if you had a dynamic mic on a boom or whatever between you and the laptop?

    • @tombuck
      @tombuck  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Thanks Andrew! I've honestly just always used shotgun mics to keep them out of the shot as much as possible. But I have noticed that whenever the mic is IN the shot, my students ask more questions about it and how to get good audio. So I've been thinking of trying different mics regularly to spur more questions.

      @@tombuck also, another tip (I don't know if you use zoom like this or not), webcam stream is very compressed so quality may suffer on keynotes (if, by any reason you have small text or fine details on slides). A nice workaround is to go to screen sharing -> advanced -> Content from 2nd Camera then switch cameras until you get to the ATEM Mini.
      Somehow, that stream's compression is lower and the quality is much much better

    Tom, I went to thank you for all you do with the passion and enthusiasm you invest in your students and your TH-cam followers. You are so gifted and fun with the way you connect and engage your audience! I was an instructor with a Military Leadership School at Fort Carson, Colorado from 1998-2013. Our "Distance Learning Classrooms" were cutting edge for the time. We had two-way audio/video between students and instructors that were linked to other Classrooms throughout the Nation. Seeing how this technology has advanced and evolved through the recent years has re-ignited my interest in getting back into teaching after watching so many of your TH-cam video's in particular! I'm moving forward with this and starting to piece together my "hobby" home studio (for now) to explore where this might take me in the near future. I love all your videos!

      It's really wild to see how things have changed over the years, and heck, even just in the past couple of years! I hope you have a ton of fun getting your studio set up. My favorite part about all of this is that, if you have an idea for something, there's definitely a way to do it. I usually just takes a little creative problem solving, but it's always doable.

Never mind the EOS R (another year), the RODE stuff (another few months) and all the other knick-knack paddywhacks. Yes i can scale everything down to half-way. Which means 1.5 years of savings and not going anywhere (easier since it's pandemic time, haha).

Tell him that he should upgrade or even better: help him upgrade! In the long run, you'll benefit with it... and you did a good thing. If everyone did that, this crappy world would be way better. ;-)
