VIDEO TRANSCRIPT: Sharing Your Screen (Doing a Demo)

So to share our screen, we have to use our computer, a laptop, a PC, or we can use a Mac. 
We cannot share our screen with a mobile device. Our students can use mobile devices, but to 
share our screen we have to use a desktop, laptop, or Mac. 

So we also recommend Firefox or Chrome. I'm using Chrome right now.

So why would you share your screen? Well, you'd share your screen because you want to show  
the Durham Tech website, or you want to show a tour of your Sakai site, or you might want to 
show someone how to create a reference in a document. There is all sorts of things that you 
could use it for.

So let's start sharing our screen. We're going to go to the bottom and we haven't used this
little icon below our presentation area, a little monitor, we'll click on it. And we have a
couple of choices here. We can show our entire screen, which means we can jump around. We 
can go to an application right now or have a recording application, as well as BigBlueButton 
running. Or we can go to one of our three Chrome tabs. 

Well, I couldn't go anywhere else if I just clicked on the home site for Durham Tech. So I'm 
going to choose your entire screen. And you might not have two screens. You'll just have one 
choice. And you'll click on the image that displays.

And now you can click on the Share button. Once you click on the Share button, you're going 
to have a little pop-up that occurs. And you'll be able to stop sharing at any time or 
you can click again on the screen below. So right now, our students -- um-- are seeing 
what-- nothing. 

[LAUGHS]

Because we haven't gone anywhere yet. So as soon as I click on a tab or I click on an 
application I had open -- Ooh. I already had to have Sakai open.

Now I can show my students different parts of our site, such as the Overview page, the 
Syllabus, we can even show them the Roster. There's my goofy little picture.

Okay. What if we want to go to a different website? I can click on a tab I'd already opened 
with Durham Tech's website. 

So those are some of the things I could do.

I could also open a PowerPoint, or a Word document, but it'd be nice if those were
already ready to go. Let's go back to BigBlueButton. 

Now what I need to do is my students aren't seeing anything, so I need to stop sharing. What 
will my students see now?

They'll go right back to this screen and see everything that's displayed in my presentation 
area. So let's show them a new slide. 

All right. Very good.
