There is so much more we could go into with computers, although there isn’t room for it in this article, here is a great look at the best computers for online teaching. This is especially the case with a laptop where screens can get quite small I couldn’t imagine using anything less than my 15” screen on my laptop. However, if you are using other teaching resources and have multiple tabs and applications open then you certainly don’t want things freezing in the middle of a class due to a slow computer so try to get at least a model from the last 5 years.Ī larger screen is another thing to consider in order to help you balance using Skype with your other teaching resources.
Skype isn’t a major resource hog so you don’t need to worry too much about RAM (512MB+) or CPU power (1GHz+). So what do we need in order to run Skype? which give you more tools to work with in your lesson.
Skype is also the standard for a lot of online teaching platforms so you will want to make sure it is installed for those lessons (if you haven’t already installed it for the interview stage or personal use).įinally, it has plenty of useful features such as screen sharing, session recording and sending files, etc. It also has plenty of users so it’s likely your students will already have an account, meaning less work for them to do to take your class. So, it’s likely going to run on your chosen system, whatever that may be. Secondly, it’s available across the majority of platforms: PC, Mac, iOS, and Android. You don’t need to pay to install it and you don’t need to pay any subscription charges to keep using it. So why should you even use Skype? After all, there are plenty of choices when it comes to video call software.
