Segment 2:
Nick’s Gadgets
- Workstation Set-Up: Use a USB splitter connected to an external monitor. That splitter has all my “stuff” to facilitate quick connection. Connect my laptop to the monitor and then I’m also auto-connected to all my gadgets. I use the Anker Hub 4 Ports and love it, but there are many options that are all pretty good.
- Second monitor! Dell 27 inch Monitor, P2725H Full HD 1080p Computer Monitor. If you haven’t started using a second monitor, get on it!
- Wacom Tablet - I like this better than a touch screen stylus because it feels more like writing on a piece of paper. When I use the stylus, I find that it my hand accidentally clicks things on the screen, zooming in by mistake, etc. I have the wired version, which is limiting. Get the wireless!
- Audio-Technica ATR2100x-USB Cardioid Dynamic Microphone: I’ve heard lots of teachers like the Blue Yeti or the Rode Podcaster, but my favorite has always been the AT. All the other mics I’ve tried sound tinny.
- Multi-device Charging Station
Guise’s Gadgets:
- Dinofire Presentation Clicker
- C Desk Clam Power Strip
- DYMO Label Maker or DYMO Label Maker USB
- Personal Laminator
- Portable Speaker
