Cybersky Kids Channel is up and running. It now has several videos of music, videos and performances, all from the students of Mr. Cybersky. Make sure you subscribe and check back often, as more videos will be uploaded, including student-made beats, “Where are they now?” videos about what former students who are now adults are doing today (my first elementary students are now 38 years old!), music videos, documentary footage of them in Mr. Cybersky’s class years ago learning music, technology, Rubik’s Cube and more!!
The [Complete] History of Rubik’s Cube – Pt 4 picks up where Pt 3 left off – 2018 and brings us through 2020, with some hints of things to come in 2021.
Thank you for supporting my channel. Cubing is just one of my topics. I also have tutorials on Movies, TV shows, Technology, Martial Arts, Health and Nutrition and have a live podcast that airs on Sundays.
What an exciting ride it’s been! Starting with Pt 1 – the Cube is invented in 1974 and the rest is history – literally! So many books, manuals, articles, music videos, television shows and Movie appearances – until finally we have a Rubik’s Cube movie in the works, a full length feature film, with it’s own Rubik’s Cube Universe!
This short video, also discusses the upcoming Rubik’s Cube Game Show in development, the Netflix documentary The Speedcubers, Red Bulls awesome Super Bowl style ring they award for their Rubik’s Cube Championship, the Rubik’s clothing line by Puma and more!
Thanks for watching, we hope you learned something!

This is part of a RUBIK’S CUBE SERIES on Cybersky Videos. More Cube videos with solutions, tutorials, explanations, reviews, puzzles and history on the way.
As a teacher who has been using Rubik’s Cube in the classroom for about 5 years. I solved the cube once as a kid, but now in my 40’s have a renewed appreciation for this mathematical puzzle! While learning various methods of solving 2×2, 3×3, 4×4, 5×5, 6×6, 7×7, 2x2x3, 2x3x3, X-Cube, Pyraminx and other awesome puzzles, I did a lot of youtube surfing, looking for answers.
I noticed that a lot of Histories of the Cube on youtube are entertaining and give the basics, but did not go into as much depth as I wanted. So I set out to make a “complete” history. Of course mine is not complete either or else it would be a 9 hour video! But I did include several things I thought other videos left out. Because it is so detailed I used animation, effects and some existing video footage (used with permission or Creative Commons), to try to keep it engaging.
I hope you like it. Please let me know what I got wrong or left out, so I can add it into a future video. This is COLLEGE LEVEL – not kid’s stuff! Enjoy!

Use Zoom Safely! – No Zoombombing or Uninvited Guests (2020)– Recently using Zoom Video Conferencing to conduct Distance Learning has come under fire, as stories of “Zoombombing” – the practice of hacking into a class meeting and posting something inappropriate for students to see – went viral.
Some educators support switching to a new platform, like Microsoft Teams orGoogle Meet,while others want to continue to usingZoom, since teachers, parents and students know how to use it. In my opinion, there is no video conferencing website that is un-hackable and teachers can make mistakes moderating online classes no matter what software they are using. Zoom made changes that took effect April 5, 2020, which make using Zoom for education a lot safer.
There are also settings and strategies educators can use to conduct lessons using Zoom safely. That is what is covered here. In this video I walk you through some important settings to use, to prevent uninvited guests from entering your meetings with students and prevent students or other guests from sharing anything without approval of the host or teacher.
At the end I give you some tips on “Virtual Classroom Management”.
Let me know what I missed, what other strategies you use to keep your Zoom meetings safe and secure and what topics I should cover next.Leave a comment under this video and I will respond. And don’t forget to smash that LIKE button, Subscribe and Ring the Bell.
In this video I show you theBest Zoom Settings For Distance Learning (+ Virtual Background) 2020that I use and recommend, as a teacher usingZoomforDistance Learning, for professional video conferencing and for using Zoom to record videos. *******************************************************************************************BEFORE YOU FORGET, PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO THE CHANNEL:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTWARoAbSRbqDyJx2GtPqhw?sub_confirmation=1******************************************************************************************* I include best settings forVideo, AudioandVirtual Backgroundand discuss setting up a free “green screen” behind you. Hopefully, this will help educators and parents trying to get the hang of using Zoom Video for remote learning during the schools shut down due to the current pandemic, but also can help anybody wanting to upgrade their skills at using professional conferencing tools. I recorded a lot of this video by creating a Zoom Meeting with myself and recording it.

Welcome to the CYBERSKY! … Let’s learn something!... In this video I walk you through using Google MEET for video conferencing with students. MEET is an alternative to using Zoom or other software. Although Zoom is more robust in features, MEET is simpler to use and easier to get started with.

For instance, once you record a video, it is stored in your google drive, so you can share it, send a link, download or add it to a Google Classroom assignment with just a few clicks. It is also already on the google platform and currently free to use for teachers, during the Coronavirus pandemic.
In the future I will be creating a Zoom tutorial as well as a side by side comparison of ZOOM vs MEET. SHARE this video and channel with all your Teacher Friends, as well as anyone who loves Technology, Health & Nutrition, Kung Fu, and Rubiks Cubes.

In this video I walk you through Google Classroom: Set Up Class & Add Students (DistanceLearning) 2020, by setting up your first class, adding students and give some words of caution about the Stream function, which allows students to make comments as soon as they first add the class. I will explain how to turn this function off.

Welcome to the CYBERSKY … LET’S LEARN SOMETHING! Using Quicktime For Screen Recording (Easy Peasy!) is an excellent way to record what you are doing on your computer, create a tutorial, a lesson for students, a presentation for work, a video for Tik Tok, Youtube or Instagram and much more. The possibilities are endless.
***************************************************************************************** BEFORE YOU FORGET, PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO THE CHANNEL! *****************************************************************************************
Since I was demonstrating Quicktime Screen Recording, I couldn’t actually use it to record this tutorial. What I did is set up my Samsung Galaxy Note 9 on a tripod in front of my MacBook actually film my screen. You can see the improvement in quality when I play back the actual Quicktime Screen Recordings I made.
Screen recording using Quicktime is much better than filming your screen with a camera. Let me know what was helpful and what I could explain better. I am relatively new at this, building my channel one video at a time.
If you have questions about Quicktime or any other software you would like me to do a video about, let me know in the comments. Don’t forget to SMASH the Like button, Subscribe and ring that bell, so we can influence the Youtube ALGORITHM and get these videos seen by more people.
