Teach It Like You Stream It: Bring Energy and Engagement to Your Zoom Classes

Peter Esperanza · Faculty, Barstow Community College · Online Teaching Conference (OTC 2026) · Anaheim, CA

Teach It Like You Stream It shows faculty how to turn Zoom from a static screen-share into an engaging learning space by borrowing what streamers do: put the instructor back at the center of the screen, give the screen a clear visual structure, and make thinking visible with live annotation. This OTC 2026 session also debuted Numberbender Studio, the free browser-based app that puts the teacher and the lesson on screen together, with no expensive equipment required.
