Is there a way for me to have access to a paid subscription if the district doesn't have one?
There are essentially 2 options for accessing paid subscriptions without the district having a subscription. They are:
Fill out this Google Form and request individual teacher subscription. The request is then processed by the technology department and administrators. If approved, the school will purchase an individual plan for you.
You can always pay for a subscription yourself if the district cannot purchase it for you. However, I strongly encourage you to reach out the technology department and/or administrators before you do this. There is a good chance the district already has access to a resource that can accomplish the exact same task in a different digital space.
How do I share videos, in real time, with students virtually?
In Google Meet select "Present Now"
Select "A Tab"
