1️⃣ Whiteboard and Annotations
If you find it difficult to explain math concepts verbally, you can use the Zoom Whiteboard, and Annotating features to provide hands-on support when explaining math concepts.
1.1 Collaborating using Zoom’s Interactive Whiteboard
To use a Zoom whiteboard while assisting a student in a breakout room, follow these steps:
1.2 How to Annotate on Your Student’s Shared Screen?
If you are a tutor at Moss Side or any other school where the students work independently on an iPad, this section of the training document is not applicable to your school context. (Zoom currently does not support annotating where participants share content/screen on a device that is supported by iOS.)
When you enter the student’s breakout room, make sure that the tutors have their screens shared as they work on their Math Exercises.
2️⃣ Zoom Auto Captioning
You might find that your student is unable to understand what you are saying, and they might not be comfortable communicating in English.
For example: If you are a tutor assigned to Moss Side Middle School, you might come across students who speak and understand only Russian.
Language barriers can pose a significant challenge to your tutoring goals, but you can utilize Zoom's Closed Caption Feature to overcome it. Zoom can automatically detect your spoken language and translate it into a language preferred by the student.
