Google Meet is a video-communication service that teachers can use to meet virtually with their students for live instruction or record presentations so students can watch them at a later date. (Note: Google Meet is different than Google Hangout. Google Hangout is ideal for one-on-one conferences or tutoring sessions, or for a quick virtual phone call. Google Meet should be used for whole-group instructional purposes.)

Example Agenda (with Google Meet Links & Breakouts)
Example Agenda (with Google Meet Links & Breakouts)
Below is a sample "virtual" agenda from a district committee meeting. Agendas like this offer a "one-stop shop" to all of the resources, links, and meets that students may need for a lesson or activity.
Note the "Breakout" links in the last row of the agenda. After meeting as a whole group, attendees were assigned to teams and had to meet with these smaller groups. In order to do this, we created a calendar event for each breakout (the date and time does not matter). In the event details, click "Add Google Meet video conferencing". A URL will automatically generate. That is the URL you will link to your breakouts (see below).
1. Create a calendar event. Title it the name of the breakout group
2. Edit the invite and click on "Add Google Meet Video Conferencing"
3. Use the generated URL when creating any links in your agendas, google classrooms, etc.
