Join.me is an INSANELY easy way to share your computer screen with collaborators -- with a simple click of the "Share" button on the Join.me site, you create a shareable link that others can use so that they can see your computer screen on their computers.

ACTIVITY: Find yourself a partner!

• One of you will be the Moderator - use the "Moderating a Join.me Session" handout. Here are your tasks:
• Create a Join.me session to share your screen.
• Invite your partner to participate in the session.
• Open the chat dialogue box, and begin the dialogue.
• Share control of your screen with your partner. 
• Take back control of the screen.
• Share a file with your partner (just select an image file from the computer you are working on).
• When you and your partner have completed all of your tasks, end the session.

• One of you will be the Participant  - use the "Participating in a Join.me Session" handout. Here are your tasks:
• Once the moderator has given you the session information (i.e., the 9-digit session code), join the session.
• Open the chat dialogue box, and chat with your partner.
• Zoom in on the screen being shared with you.
• When the moderator has shared control with you, practice navigating your partner's screen.
• Your partner will take back the control; now request control from the moderator.
• Share a file with your partner (just select an image file from the computer you are working on).
• Exit the session.

When you have finished your session, it's time to switch roles -- the partner that previously was the Moderator will become the Participant, and the former participant now becomes the moderator.  Once again, each person needs to complete the tasks assigned to his/her role before the session is ended.

DISCUSSION:

Now that each of you has had a chance to step into both roles, how might you use Join.me to facilitate learning in your courses?
