Teaching with Zoom
Keith Folse
Teaching with Zoom is a book written by a teacher for teachers. Using non-technical, everyday language and my ‘teacher thinking,’ I explain how to accomplish typical classroom activities – including checking attendance, working in groups, presenting new material using interactive polls, writing on a shared whiteboard, and more. I also cover security and privacy issues, troubleshooting common problems, and getting additional help. This guide truly starts at the very beginning, so even a teacher who has never used Zoom before can learn how to successfully set up and manage a class.
The practical information in this book is presented through 46 common teacher questions (How do I show a PowerPoint? How do students ask a question? Can I use Zoom for office hours?) with detailed answers that walk you through each step, supported with over 50 screenshots. For each activity, I explain not only how to accomplish it with Zoom but why you might want to do that task a certain way.
Online teaching involves not only teachers but also students and parents, and all three voices should be considered for better online instruction. To this end, I’ve included a chapter filled with dozens of insightful comments from students, parents, and teachers who have used Zoom.

Enseñar con Zoom: Una Guía para Principiantes
Keith Folse
Enseñar con Zoom es un libro dirigido a profesores escrito por un profesor empleando un lenguaje cotidiano y no técnico. En este libro explico cómo realizar las actividades comunes del aula, incluyendo la verificación de la asistencia, el trabajo en grupo, la presentación de material nuevo por medio de encuestas interactivas, entre otras. También abarco problemas de seguridad y privacidad, solución de inconvenientes usuales y ayuda adicional.
Esta guía comienza con los conceptos más básicos, de modo que incluso si el lector nunca ha empleado Zoom, puede aprender cómo configurar y llevar a cabo con éxito una clase con esta interfaz. La información práctica en este libro se presenta a través de 46 preguntas comunes del profesor ("¿Cómo muestro una presentación de PowerPoint?", "¿Cómo hacen los estudiantes una pregunta?", "¿Puedo usar Zoom para las horas de oficina?"), con respuestas detalladas que lo guían en cada paso, respaldado con más de 50 capturas de pantalla.
Para cada actividad, explico cómo llevarla a cabo con Zoom y al mismo tiempo doy las razones por las cuales se realiza de esta manera. La enseñanza en línea involucra a profesores, estudiantes y padres, que son las tres voces que se deben tener en cuenta para una mejor instrucción en línea. Con este fin, he incluido un capítulo con docenas de comentarios perspicaces de estudiantes, padres y profesores que han usado Zoom.
