The Social Work department has put together two carts to support hybrid learning. These carts are available in CN 201, and should be reserved in advance. Please follow the instructions below to get set up (it’s easier than it looks!), and keep reading for more tips and tricks for supporting your technology needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Pick up the cart at the Welcome Desk.\u00a0You can reserve in advance by physically signing it out at the Welcome Desk or by emailing the Welcome Desk. You can take your chances and see if one is available when you need it as well. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Make sure the cart has all components when you check it out (Yeti Mic, Logitech Camera, Camera Gooseneck Stand, USB connector, Instructions, 1 silver cord extension) <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Bring cart to classroom.  <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. Position the cart towards the center of the room. Have the camera focused on the front of the room for lecture or turn towards the class for discussion. You can move this around if something changes. It is recommended that you just keep it focused forward. Keep the mic on the cart as well or you can move it to the center of the room, however, it must remain plugged into the USB connector on the cart. Students on Zoom will be able to \u201chear\u201d their colleagues, and this is essential over seeing them. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          You can easily bend the gooseneck stand to position the camera where you want it. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          1. Check to make sure all \u201cconnections\u201d are secure . . . meaning . . . make sure everything is plugged in on the cart to the USB connector. Everything should already be connected- this is just a double check! <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            1. Power DOES NOT need to be plugged in from the cart. All power comes from the USB connection.   <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              1. Plug the USB extension cord into your laptop or the classroom computer. For the classroom computer, the USB port is on the side of the monitor.  <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                1. Internet: If you are using your laptop, you may want to hardwire into the internet incase your wifi drops with the Zooming\/Teamsing. Classroom computers are already connected.  <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                    \n
                  1. If you want to display the remote participants on your main classroom screen and\/or share your Power Point, make sure that you connect your laptop to the room\u2019s projector through the HDMI or VGA adaptor. If using the classroom computer, it should display automatically. If you have a VGA port and using an adaptor (or dongle) make sure your sound is plugged in as well. It is usually a head phone jack that is plugged directly into your computer or the dongle\/adapter.  <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                      \n
                    1. Open Zoom\/Teams <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                        \n
                      1. You will need to make sure your camera and microphone and speaker are selected in the program you choose. You may get lucky and it will automatically WORK! If Yes (go buy a lottery ticket). If not: proceed to step 12.  <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                          \n
                        1. Check the \u201ccamera\u201d, \u201cspeaker\u201d, and \u201cmicrophone\u201d settings to make sure you have selected the tech cart items. Your computer may default to other options. Make sure it is selected for Camera<\/strong>: Logitech; Speaker<\/strong>: Room (this may have a different name (maybe HDMI something), but it is not your computer or the Yeti; Microphone<\/strong>: Yeti). To check this you need to go to the “device setting” in Zoom\/Teams. Below are screen shots for Canvas and Teams to manage your device settings. You may need to play with the \u201cspeaker\u201d settings to select the correct one. When using the Yeti microphone, it often defaults to this as the speaker too. The speaker does not work with the Yeti, so you need to select a different speaker.  <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                          \"\"
                          The device settings for zoom are located in the bottom left corner under the “Mute” microphone and “Start\/Stop Video” camera. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
                          \"\"
                          Make sure that the “Yeti” is only selected for the Microphone and NOT the speaker. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
                          \"\"

                            \n
                          1. Ask your students on Zoom\/Teams if they are able to hear you and have them speak to test if you can hear them. You can also \u201ctest\u201d these items by seeing if they register on the speaker\/microphone gauge in purple or green.   <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                              \n
                            1. If you need to record your session, please do so now.  <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                                \n
                              1. Turn on \u201clive transcript\u201d in Zoom under CC and in Teams under Device Settings (Turn on Live Captions) <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                                \"\"

                                Zoom may require you to update your settings and\/or enable Live Transcript so go here for instructions: https:\/\/support.zoom.us\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/207279736-Closed-captioning-and-live-transcription <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                1. When finished with cart, please\u00a0return the cart to CN 201 and check it in with the front desk. Make sure all components are present and the cart is organized how you found it.\u00a0If you are returning after 5pm, please stick it down the hall past the welcome desk.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
