Global Learning
Camille Edwards, Coordinator

In a virtual class visit with Ms. Gaskins, Language Arts and Global Scholars teacher at New Renaissance Middle School in Miramar, I was amazed at how vibrant her class appeared on my computer screen in Teams. The camera followed her movement and I was able to see and hear her wherever she went in the classroom. Ms. Gaskin's notes on the white board and her use of the Recordex were very legible. I was impressed at being able to hear both her students in the classroom and those who are learning remotely almost like we were all in the same room.

Are you using a Poly Studio USB Video Bar I asked? Yes, she replied with a smile and I’m loving it, she said. Why do you love it I asked? She answered, I enjoy using the Poly Studio camera because it allows for my remote students to interact with the class. Using the camera gives my students at home the experience of being in class without being in class. It has been a great addition to my teaching.

Visiting other Global Scholars classes I noticed other teachers using the camera with the same positive effect on teaching and learning. Below are a few other Global Scholars teachers and what they had to say about using the Poly Studio Video Bar to enhancing their students' learning experiences.
