Teaching · For Tutors

Share the lesson, not your desktop.

Two minutes before each session: notifications off, other students’ files closed, only the lesson open, text big enough to read. Record how you shared and whether anything slipped into view; the summary tells you what to change before the next session.

share the lesson, not the desktop
Drawn for this page. The smaller the thing you share, the less can slip into view.

How to use it

  1. Start a record with the student’s initials or a code and the session date.
  2. Choose the smallest thing to share: a tab or one window.
  3. Run the eight checks before you press share.
  4. Note how the student shared and whether you recorded.
  5. Afterward, log anything private that showed and fix it for next time.

What the checklist is for

Share the smallest thing

A whole-screen share shows every notification and every window you switch to. Sharing a single window or browser tab keeps the rest of your computer out of the session, including other families’ messages.

Recording

Record only with the family’s written permission, tell the student when recording starts, and keep the file only as long as your policy says. Students’ images and voices are personal information.

Other families’ information

Your screen may hold other students’ names, notes and messages. Closing them before you share protects those families as much as the one on the call.
