Making the online learning juggle easier with dual screens

Using your staff laptop connected to a second screen is a great way to juggle multiple programs, marking and managing your class when video conferencing. 
How to setup a second screen
The following video has instructions to set up your screen and extend displays on your staff laptop so you can start to do some serious multi tasking. ​

How to use split screen in Windows 10
The following shows you how to have multiple windows snapped together on one screen (up to four depending on the size of your screen). This is particularly helpful for marking and editing two documents at the same time.

Teaching and Learning ideas with two screens
​Once your screens are setup here are some ways you can use them to maximise your productivity.
Marking assignments

• Have one screen open with your Google Classroom/ Microsoft Team and marking criteria or assessment task on the other screen. 

Running multiple programs

• While you are teaching online, sending comments and run quiz programs like Kahoot and Quizlet at the same time.

Delivering lessons online

• One screen to show your participants and keeping all resources ready to slide into your second shared screen.
• This helps you see student comments in real time while you teach to leverage teachable moments in an online environment.

Working with multiple students 

• Using breakout rooms on one screen with students and referring to student work and other documents.

Now that you know how, go and be creative and share how you use multiple screens and Windows 10 snapping.
