The addition of a headset and a standalone webcam prepared Carolyn to transform her at-home teaching environment into an optimal setting for seamless remote teaching. She positioned the webcam on her TV, which she planned to use as a second screen to keep her lesson material in view on her laptop and students in view on the large TV screen. She even thought of using the broad field of view to set up boards and other materials behind her to enrich her lessons. Unexpectedly, Carolyn’s school went back to in-person learning before she could put her remote set-up to the test. But she is confident that she can seamlessly move from the physical to the remote classroom.
The headset blocked out all background noise so students would no longer have to compete against sounds in Carolyn’s house but could instead focus on what she was saying. With the ability to move freely and present lesson materials, she planned to use the Logitech Spotlight to direct her students’ eyes to follow materials on-screen in real-time. When teaching contextual vocabulary, this could be a game-changer.
When not actively teaching, the simple addition of a mouse transformed Carolyn’s days. Instead of relying solely on a trackpad, she seamlessly scrolls and clicks as needed to accurately and effectively complete all administrative and lesson development tasks.
