Zoom + Watch2Gether = Karaoke with students

Zoom + Watch2Gether = Karaoke with students

# data[].attributes.body
You can all watch something together.  It doesn't have to be karaoke. It can be any video. This article has more information.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Just because everybody's stuck at home doesn't mean you still can't sing your heart out with your friends. All you have to do is read our guide on how to do karaoke on Zoom.

Millions of people are using Zoom, one of the best video chat apps, while they're staying at home. Generally, they're using the program for work meetings or personal calls with friends and family, but it's easy enough to adapt Zoom for karaoke purposes.

Zoom is a great way to get a group of people together in a video conference and many people prefer it over various Zoom alternatives since you can see everyone in gallery view (up to 49 participants in one screen). The Brady Bunch-like grid format is perfect for a virtual karaoke session, since you can see multiple singers as well audience members at the same time. Just be sure to remind people to mute when there's loud background noise.

How to do Karaoke on Zoom with Watch2Gether: Create rooms

The first thing you need to do is download the Zoom desktop client for Mac or Windows. Then, set up a Zoom meeting and save the link for later.

( NOTE: Free Zoom meetings have a time limit of 40 minutes for three or more participants. Check out their upgrade plans and pricing.)

The second thing you need to do is set up a room on Watch2Gether. What is Watch2Gether? It is a free social video website that allows you to watch videos and other content in sync with others. This way, everybody in your karaoke group can watch the same YouTube or Vimeo lyric videos at the same time.

Create a Watch2Gether room and save the link for later.

( NOTE: Watch2Gether rooms are temporary, and get deleted after 24 hours. To save a room, all you need to do is sign up for a free Watch2Gether account.)

How to do Karaoke on Zoom: Invite friends

Send a karaoke party invite to your friends. Ideally, this invite should include instructions on using Zoom and Watch2Gether. Here are the steps I sent to my group:

1. Join this Zoom Meeting (so we can see and hear each other): [Zoom meeting link]

2. Join this Watch2Gether Room (so we can watch the same karaoke videos at the same time): [Watch2Gether room link]

3. At the top of the Watch2Gether room is a search bar. Type in your song title and select one of the results that populate below the playback window. Add it to the queue by clicking the + symbol.

4. When your song comes up, sing!

How to do Karaoke on Zoom: Tips and tricks

Having done Zoom karaoke with my own friends, I can offer some tips on how to make the event run a little smoother.

When you join the Watch2Gether room, make sure to update your name on your icon (the left-most one in the list at the bottom of the screen). The room keeps track of who does what.

Make sure to turn both your computer's volume and the Watch2Gether playback video's volume all the way up.

The singer (or the primary singer if it's a group number) should be the only person who has the audio on for the Watch2Gether playback video. Everyone else should mute the video. This helps if playback is slightly off-sync for different people.

Try searching the song title plus the word "karaoke" to find the best lyric videos (example: "Sweet Caroline karaoke").

When you are selecting a search result, make sure to click the + sign and not the thumbnail, or your video will immediately play. (Jumping the queue is bad karaoke etiquette.)

The host should take charge of managing the queue and making sure everyone gets a turn before singing again.

Otherwise, treat Zoom karaoke as you would regular, in-person karaoke. Sing duets and group numbers. Add in sound effects with tambourines, shakers, bongos or other instruments you have around the house. Try themed rounds based on genres ('90s boy bands, country, yacht rock) or titles (songs with names, numbers, colors, etc.).

And sing your heart out.

Other Zoom applications

With more people using Zoom than ever before, we've put together a general how to use Zoom guide, and more specific step-by-step guides on how to set up a Zoom meeting, how to join a Zoom meeting, how to see everyone on Zoom, how to share your screen on Zoom and how to chat on Zoom. And, if you want to mix things up, you can also learn how to change your Zoom background so you look as if you're on a tropical beach or in outer space.

25+ Ideas for Live Zoom or Google Class Meets with Students

# data[].attributes.body
This resource is for any language. However, the regular posts cater to Spanish/English.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Looking for ideas to do during a live Zoom or Google Meet sessions with your K-2 Bilingual students. Yes!! Teachers and kids get bored if you keep doing the same thing on live Zoom or Google meet "classes" or "meetings"... so, we went searching for ideas to share with you.

We have compiled of list of 25+ ideas that you can do during live sessions with your primary (K-2) bilingual students.

As a teacher, you will have to make it grade or age-appropriate but these are great ideas for most classroom teachers to use during distance learning or e-learning meetings with their students.

1. Directed drawing: Tell students to have a paper and pencils, markers or crayons ready. Do a directed drawing or watch one together.

2. Show and tell/Share and tell: Just as you would in your class, have a couple of students share or show something.

3. Sharing (Share your favorite toy, pet, stuffed animal, etc.): If your class if learning about 3D shapes or plants, have them come prepared to the class (or meeting) with something (real, drawing or picture) of that item.

4. Read a story or a "guest" reader: You could do a read aloud to the class, a parent or try to involve a specialist teacher, assistant or even administrator the chance to "interact" with kids.

5. Scavenger hunt (colors, shapes, Things that start with the letter..., etc.): Depending on the age you might want to tell parents what students will be looking for beforehand or at least that they are doing a "scavenger hunt" so they know their child might be up and looking around for things.

6. Dance Party or GoNoodle: Do a little dancing or exercising together is always fun.

7. Tell a Joke/Comedy Show: Either the teacher could come prepared with some jokes or you could have students come with "school appropriate" or "kid-friendly" jokes to share.

8. Virtual field trip: Check into some of the many zoos, parks, museums, etc. that provide virtual field trips. Do one with the class once you have found one that is "appropriate" or something related to your units of study.

9. Sing a song: Did you have a morning meeting song, or something you always sing as a class? Why not do it together on Zoom or Google meet. Or try singing popular children's songs that most students might know.

10. Question of the day: Like you might have in real life have a question of the day. Do you have an M in your last name? Do you like to eat broccoli? What is your favorite season? What did you eat for breakfast? Do you prefer cats or dogs?

11. Science experiment: You could prepare materials for a science experiment. The students could make predictions to what would happen before doing the activity. They could watch you do it OR if it is something they could do with materials they have on hand maybe students could do it as well and share their results.

12. Simon says...: Game to practice listening, colors, body parts, actions, etc.

13. Academic Sharing: Students could share work they are proud of (journals, science, art, etc,) and you as the teacher could do weekly shout outs or "student's of the week" to students who were most improved, finished everything, creative, etc.

14. Dress up day (and then describe what they are wearing)- favorite book character, the color blue, pajamas, etc.

15. Would you rather game: Play the game and have students raise hands and share they response. Would you rather eat fish or pizza? Would you rather swim or ski? Would you rather read or do math?

16. Find the missing object: Show a variety of objects on screen/screenshare and then take something away. Students raise hands to share what is missing. It could be a missing person from the class as well (Turn off their camera).

17. Make up a story together with phonics focus or spelling list.: If your class is working on words with the letter 'p'. Brainstorm a list. Write it on paper or bored and then try making up a silly story using all the words the class came up with.

18. "Fort-night" or "Fort-Friday" - kids make forts at their house and share/hang out together. Just a way to hang out and practice construction/engineering skills.

19. Mystery Bag: Put something in a bag. Have kids raise their hands and ask questions (yes/no) to see if they can guess what it is.

20. Guest visitor/speaker: Could you have someone from school, the community, a students family member, etc. and be a guest visitor during the live class. If you are learning about community workers; maybe you have a parent that is a fire fighter or a doctor that could come on.

21. Charades: You or students could act something (like being an elephant, riding a bike, eating soup, etc.) and students could raise hands and guess. To organize you might want to make a list and tell the "actor" to choose one in their head without saying it out loud.

22. Pictionary: If you have paper or digital drawing capabilities, you or a student could draw something and kids could guess what it is.

23. How to Writing/Giving directions: If working on how-to writing or giving directions this is a great idea. You could do it live... Like "how to make a Peanut butter and jelly sandwich" following your student's directions. Or could do a step by step (or how to process) modeling to them live and then the students could make their own videos (or written processes) to share with the group.

24. 20 questions: You could think of a person, animal, food, etc. in your head and have students raise hand and ask questions (yes/no). Great language activity. If they guess what/who it is in less than 20 questions the class gets a point if not you get a point.

25. Boggle: If you have access to the actual game you could shake it and display it on the screen or make your own with post-it notes or just boxes on-screen or

26. Mad Libs: You could find a premade one or make up your own. This would work great in 1st or 2nd grade when you are learning about verbs, nouns, adverbs, etc. as a grammar portion of your bilingual curriculum.

27. Talent Show: Could you have students prepare to share a talent- sing a song, play an instrument, magic trick, art project, etc.

28. Rock, Paper, Scissors: Start teacher vs. 1 student. Have the winner chose who they play against.

If you have any other great ideas... leave a comment and we will add them to the list.

Ages 13+ would love you forever if you would use TikTok in your lessons

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Teachers and school officials around the country have begun to take notice of the fact that TikTok, a short-form video-creation tool and social media platform, is now one of the most popular apps with tweens and teens. While many teachers are trying to stop students from using the platform during school hours, others are embracing TikTok in the classroom in an attempt to make their assignments more interesting to kids. These teachers argue that by allowing the use of TikTok for school projects, students will retain more than they would through traditional lecture-based lessons and homework.

TikTok: The Basics

If your child has ever wanted to be a social media sensation, TikTok offers a chance at that dream. The platform allows users to create and share video content, including music videos, and it includes editing tools that make it possible for anyone to produce near-professional results.

Access to content can be limited to a select group of friends and family, so kids can enjoy the fun of video creation without the issues that come with sharing publicly. However, some families have concerns about the possibility that video content will be released to a larger audience or the privacy settings won't be implemented. After all, even the most sophisticated privacy settings are not fail-safe.

TikTok in the Classroom

TikTok's videography features have inspired some innovative teachers to develop TikTok-based assignments that are shared within closed classroom groups. Students work individually or together to create content that demonstrates their understanding of concepts, which promotes peer-to-peer teaching.

Applications for TikTok in the classroom are virtually limitless, and teachers have shared an imaginative array of media-based assignments. One Gaithersburg, Maryland, history teacher allowed students to create videos in lieu of essays to show what they had learned about the Missouri Compromise of 1820. Another teacher in Eastvale, California, offered the opportunity to use a TikTok video for a lesson comparing and contrasting historical trade routes and another project related to critical inventions during the Industrial Revolution.

Perhaps the most effective use of TikTok in the education arena is teacher-made videos that students can watch again and again. In the spirit of flipped classrooms, some teachers have created their own clips to explain complex concepts or share detailed assignment instructions.

This method benefits students, as they don't have the distraction of trying to capture every word in their notes. Instead, they have unlimited access to a video version of the most important points. Using TikTok in this manner also prevents potential issues that come with student use.

Harnessing the Power of Social Media

Some parents and teachers are concerned that instead of promoting learning, allowing TikTok in the classroom is nothing more than a distraction. Those who have integrated the platform successfully note that they do take measures to limit the distraction factor. Specifically, they limit the time allotted to TikTok use, and they ensure that students are focused on the assigned task while logged into the platform. Their philosophy is that there is no sense in trying to fight against social media, and instead, they deliberately focus its power on improving educational outcomes.

Of course, even the most careful educators can't prevent misuse of social media. A brief review of available content shows plenty of students creating videos during school hours that are unrelated to classwork. In fact, there is an entire sub-genre of videos set in high school bathrooms. While entertaining, administrators and families are working to discourage this trend, as there is a substantial possibility of privacy violations.

Avoiding Privacy Pitfalls

The beauty of social media is that it is free and open to a global audience. The downside to that is that not all users are careful about what they post. As kids choose public settings, such as a school bathroom, other kids may be featured in a video without their permission. As these videos can easily go viral, this possibility becomes a significant privacy issue.

It is also possible that your teens and tweens could come across mature content, so be sure they are using the appropriate settings to limit the likelihood of this occurring. Tik Tok's privacy options make it possible to prevent your child's account from showing up in searches, and with the right settings, outsiders can't view uploaded content, leave comments, or send unsolicited messages.

What are your thoughts on the use of TikTok in the classroom? Let us know in the comments section.

In this one-hour webinar with Katy Arnett, explore ways teachers can incorporate (or recognize how we are already incorporating) elements of inclusive practice in our remote learning experiences. Join this discussion and acquire specific strategies to support each unique learner. We explore how remote learning has challenged our sense of being effective as an educator, particularly as it pertains to supporting students with more complex needs or home lives.
