Teaching online without reading from a second screen
Run a lesson plan as beats, keep it out of the shared screen, and leave with a record of what was actually covered.
A lesson plan on paper means looking down. A lesson plan in a second window means alt tabbing in front of thirty people, or worse, sharing it by accident.
Beats hold the plan in the order you meant it. The prompter stays out of the share while you demonstrate in the application you are teaching.
Listen keeps a transcript on your Mac, which is useful when somebody asks what was covered in week three.
What you would be using
- Beats, markup, and timing, free
- Ghost, so the plan sits over the thing you are demonstrating
- Listen with on-device transcription, free and never limited
- Turning a Listen session into a prompter script, on Pro
What it does not do
Recording a class has its own rules, which differ by institution and by country. That conversation is yours to have before you press record.
For this, the free plan is enough
Beats, Ghost, and on-device transcription are free and never limited. Pro only adds turning a session into a script.
Not quite you? Answer three questions and get the plan that fits.
A scenario, not a case study. Nobody here is a real customer.
