The new Sphere2 software adds enhanced visual capabilities to lesson creation, 1 to 1 student engagement and collaboration. With the ability to add multiple cameras and content in one screen and with the new Class Student Engagement feature, teachers can transmit screenshots directly to your students' devices over existing Wi-Fi networks. Students can easily view, and interact with curriculum on many levels, whether at school or at home.
Engage. Interact. Excite.
Sphere2 now allows you to configure your software to recognize students' devices that are equipped with the ClassSend app. Teachers can not only create, record and share their custom lessons, but they can now interactively send their content to their students' devices, ensuring their direct participation in the classroom session! Through the ClassSend app, students are empowered to modify, annotate and transmit their work back to the teacher!
Simple, flexible and adaptive
Sphere2 is a complete presentation, content development and sharing software solution; however its simplicity is just as extraordinary as what it does. With easy to navigate tools to present live video, control your document camera(s), annotate, manipulate, record and share. Your students will be actively immersed in your curriculum.
Sphere2 annotation tools: comprehensive, yet intuitive!
One Camera? Two Cameras? Three?
Sphere2 allows you to present content from multiple sources, organized in up to 6 screens at one time. It also allows you to display live video from your document camera, wireless camera, and even your web cam simultaneously!
A chemical reaction can be demonstrated under the document camera, as the teacher is presented live through the webcam. A wireless camera can be at a student station as the group conducts the experiment at the same time, all being viewed by the class. Additional content such as the Periodic Table or results can be displayed in other screens, as well.
Then using the new Class feature, send a freeze-frame of the experiment to each of your students' 1 to 1 devices, asking them to annotate (using their device's ClassSend app) where the key elements can be found on the Periodic Table.

Move, resize, annotate and record it all
Whether presenting content in one full screen, or as many as 6, you can rearrange the windows, resize them, mark and annotate over all, then record the entire lesson from start to finish. All screens, including all annotation and audio can be recorded as one complete video.
Shine a spotlight
One of the unique features that Sphere2 offers is the Spotlight feature. The Spotlight feature focuses attention on a key area in your slide. When used, the feature turns the entire slide area completely opaque while exposing a region of the screen. You can control the size, shape and position of the exposed area, which is perfect sectioning off problems on a worksheet.
Reveal something
The Visor feature allows you to cover any area of the screen with an opaque rectangular shield. The shield can be moved either vertically or horizontally to reveal and hide areas as necessary. You can even adjust the transparency – perfect for reviewing exam questions and answers.
Share lessons instantly to the cloud
Captures what you see (and do)
Whether you are moving an object under an AVer doc cam, narrating over a website, annotating over your lesson or playing a video, Sphere2 captures all your actions with crystal-clear video and audio.
Shares video instantly
With your complete lesson recorded, you can instantly upload and share it to DropBox, YouTube, Facebook, or even your classroom management site. Lessons can be pre-recorded for substitute teachers, and flipped for students to view at home. Student presentations and projects can also be recorded and shared anytime, anywhere.
Sphere2, with the new Class Student Engagement feature, provides the tools for you to have immersive and stimulating direct engagements with your students.

Flip your classroom
Currently the biggest buzz in education is 'flipping your classroom.' What is the flipped classroom? According to an article in the New York Times, 'It's an 'inverted' teaching structure in which instructional content is delivered outside class, and engagement with the content – skill development and practice, projects and the like – is done in class, under teacher guidance and in collaboration with peers.' Basically With the ability to record and share dynamic eLearning content, Sphere2 makes it effortless and engaging for you to flip your classroom.
