At the end of this lesson, you will know how to access Google Meet and how to start a meeting.
Through Google Classroom (recommended method for students)
Through Google Calendar (scheduled)
Through meet.google.com (instant or scheduled)
Through Gmail (instant)
Through Google Chat (instant)
This is the recommended method to join a Google Meet with a group of students, as students won't be able to join a Meet generated through Classroom without their teacher present.
This is the recommended method for scheduling a meeting with colleagues and/or guardians (IEPs, PTIs, etc.).
The recommended method for joining a Google Meet session with your students is by using the Meet link integrated in your Google Classroom. This is a special link that does not allow students to join before you or rejoin after without a teacher being present in the Meet.
Settings for the Class Meet can be managed from within Classroom. The Meet link can be made visible on the left of the Stream page of your Classroom for student access.
The best practice when finishing a Google Meet with students is to ensure that the teacher presses on "End Call" to ensure that the call has been terminated for all participants and no one can stay in the meeting space.
Now, use the steps you have learned to explore the various ways that you can start or join a Meet.
