Question 1

How do you use Share Screen on Outschool for interactive lessons?

Accepted Answer

In this video, I walk you through how I use Share Screen as part of my lesson flow so students can see exactly what we’re working on together. My goal is always to keep it interactive, so I’m intentional about what I share and when I share it. I want students participating, not just watching.

Question 2

What should I share on screen during an Outschool class?

Accepted Answer

I focus on sharing visuals and lesson materials that make directions clear and keep students engaged. If it doesn’t help students participate or understand what’s next, I don’t keep it on the screen. I’m always thinking: “Does this support confidence and interaction?”

Question 3

How do you keep students engaged while screen sharing?

Accepted Answer

I use Share Screen in a way that supports back-and-forth participation, not passive viewing. I build in moments where students respond, do something, or interact with what they see. The screen is a tool—but my teaching is still the center.

Question 4

Is Share Screen necessary for teaching on Outschool?

Accepted Answer

You don’t have to use it every second, but it can make your lessons smoother and more engaging when you use it intentionally. I like it because it helps students follow along and feel confident about what we’re doing. It’s especially helpful when you’re using slides, visuals, or online tools.

Question 5

How can I plan an Outschool lesson that works well with screen share?

Accepted Answer

I recommend thinking through your lesson steps first—what students need to see, what they need to do, and where you want interaction. That’s why I created my Think-Through Guide to Creating Outschool Classes, because planning ahead makes the tech part feel so much easier. When your structure is clear, Share Screen becomes simple.

Question 6

Where can I get help becoming an Outschool teacher?

Accepted Answer

I include my referral link to become an Outschool teacher, and I also share ways to get support if you’re interested or already approved. I’m big on encouragement and practical help, so you don’t feel like you’re figuring it all out alone. You can also connect with my community for weekly coaching and Q&A.
