Google Meet

Getting Started With Google Meet For Education

• At its most basic level, video conferencing in education connects remote students to teachers.
• Video Conferencing with students is an excellent way to connect "in person" to bolster their Social Emotional well being.
• Teachers are using it as part of a larger blended learning model where students are learning synchronously and asynchronously.
• On a more exciting level, it also leads students on virtual tours, brings far-away experts on camera for interviews and allows your students to try out their fledgling foreign language skills on their peers from other countries.

Google Meet Best Practices

1. Start Meet at meet.google.com (not from calendar invite)
2. Give meeting a nickname unique to our district (e.g. smithss8). You can reuse the nickname in future meetings.
3. Share the nickname with students. Don't share the URL.
4. Students will not be able to join until you start the meet.
5. Students will not be able to return after you have cleared the meet and signed off.
