How to check your sound preferences for using the Poly Studio

Sometimes your Mac might get a bit confused with the Poly Studio and not pass the correct settings along to your computer from Google Meet. So, I wanted to pass along screenshots of the correct settings so that you can verify that that everything is set correctly if you are having problems.

Check your settings in Google Meet

  1. Click on the three dots in the bottom right hand corner of the screen in Google Meets and select "Settings".


  2. Your settings for the "Audio" portion should have Polycom Studio selected for both the microphone and the speakers.

  3. Your settings for the "Video" portion should have Polycom Studio selected for the camera.

Check your settings in Apple's System Preferences

  1. Click on the "Apple" icon in the very top left hand corner of your screen on your Mac. Then select "System Preferences..."

  2. Click on the "Sound" icon.

  3. Click on the "Output" button and verify that "Polycom Studio" is selected for the output device.

  4. Click on the "Input" button and verify that "Polycom Studio" is selected for the output device.

  5. You might also want to turn the "Input Volume" up some or all of the way if your viewers are having a hard time hearing you.
I hope that helps you find more success with your Poly Studio unit! Please let me know if I can do anything further to assist you.

Empowering Students with Choice Boards

Image
An example of a student choice menu that has students chose one item from each "course". I've been working with a teacher lately who has struggled with her students completing a summative paper in her class. This trimester, we're working together to find a way to increase buy in and hopefully have a higher percentage of students complete the project. While investigating options for her, the first thing that came to mind was using a choice board or learning menu to enable her students to select the method that would work best for them rather than prescribing a multimedia project. There are a wide range of ways that you can put choice boards in to action. Tic-Tac-Toe, Menus, Choice Board... there are lots of different words to use to search for them. But the premise for all of them is the same. Give your students a selection of options to chose from and let them go with it. Beyond hopefully boosting engagement, the teacher gets the added benefit of not have a ga

Presentation Options in Sway Form

Last week I was supposed to meet with a teacher at the middle school to discuss what options were available for presentations. The list is fairly lengthy, so it is hard to really narrow it down. But, of course, we had a snow day and my meeting was cancelled. To help explain some of the options that I found, I created a Sway (from Microsoft), which is shown below. Overall, I like Prezi , Google Slides , Emaze , or Sway . Any of those seem fairly easy to use and cover a wide range of presentation styles. If you are looking to give your students options, feel free to use the presentation I made to help them choose what they'd like to use.
